Can my landlord throw me out if I dont sign a new lease?

Question

I live in New York and I am not to sure If I want to stay in my apartment. I am not ready top move but I dont want to be stuck for here for another year. Can he tell me I have to move if I dont sign a new lease?

Answer 1

he can "throw you out" by making you move within 30 days... why dont you just talk to your land lord to get a 3 month or 6 month lease.. tell him you will pay a little more a month just to decide what you want to do... if you are paying 600 dollars a month,,, then offer him 650 a month for a 6 month lease... he will get more money and you get to stay longer.

Answer 2

Of course he can.  Without a lease NY only requires that either party give 30 days notice to vacate.

Answer 3

Yes he can. Just as you had to sign a lease when you originally moved i you have to renew your lease to remain there. It is a legal document that protects both the landlord and you.

Answer 4

yes, he can.

Answer 5

Check your lease.  Some leases have a month-to-month tenancy clause.  If you continue to pay your rent on time after the lease is up, you may be able to stay longer without signing a new lease.

Answer 6

Most landlords will continue to allow you to pay from month to month after your lease is up and won't require you to sign another lease. Usually the only time a landlord will require you to sign another lease is if they are raising the rent. Then you have the option to move or sign another lease and pay the increase.

Answer 7

If your lease is up and you don't sign a new one, then yes absolutely

Answer 8

He can't throw you out, he has to give you 30 days to move out.

Answer 9

Hello,,look at your old contract and see what type renewal requirements are spelled out. some places don't require the resigning some do, you might want to pack as you read.
