New York's Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 sharply limits no-fault evictions across Westchester County by extending notice periods, requiring good-cause grounds in ETPA villages, and capping landlord recovery to specified statutory bases.
Under HSTPA and NY Real Property Law sections 226-c and 232-a, Westchester landlords must provide 30 days' notice to terminate tenancies under one year, 60 days for one-to-two-year tenancies, and 90 days for tenancies over two years. In ETPA-stabilized villages such as Yonkers, Mount Vernon, and parts of New Rochelle, owners cannot decline to renew without statutory cause. Owner-occupancy recovery is permitted in non-stabilized units but must be in good faith, with proof the owner will use the unit as a primary residence for at least three years.
Improper no-fault terminations result in dismissal of holdover proceedings, treble damages, and attorney-fee awards under HSTPA Section 234.
