Just cause eviction rules in Onondaga County, NY — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
No countywide just-cause eviction law. Syracuse has a Tenant Protection Act (2023) requiring good cause for nonrenewal and eviction. Outside Syracuse, NY Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL) governs.
Syracuse Common Council passed the Good Cause Eviction local law in 2023, limiting rent increases above 5 percent plus CPI and requiring good cause for nonrenewal. County-level unincorporated areas and towns default to state landlord-tenant law. Contact Onondaga County at (315) 435-2070 for enforcement.
