Just cause eviction rules in Glen Cove, NY — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Glen Cove has not adopted New York State's optional Good Cause Eviction law (enacted statewide in 2024 for NYC, with local opt-in for other municipalities). Standard NY landlord-tenant law applies for evictions.
Under New York's 2024 Good Cause Eviction statute, municipalities outside New York City must affirmatively opt in for the law's protections to apply. As of mid-2026, Glen Cove has not adopted the local opt-in. Evictions in Glen Cove proceed under standard NY Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL) Article 7, requiring notices ranging from 30 to 90 days depending on tenancy length and proper court process in Nassau County District Court.
Self-help evictions (changing locks, removing belongings) are illegal under RPL § 768 and expose landlords to triple damages and criminal charges.
