The 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act sharply curtailed no-fault evictions across New York, including Suffolk County. Landlords must give 30 to 90 days written notice before non-renewal, scaled to tenancy length, and cannot terminate solely to raise rent on long-term tenants.
Under New York Real Property Law Section 226-c, as amended by the HSTPA, a Suffolk County landlord ending a month-to-month tenancy or refusing to renew a lease must provide 30 days notice if the tenant has occupied under one year, 60 days for one-to-two-year tenancies, and 90 days for two-plus-year tenancies. Rent increases of 5 percent or more trigger the same escalating notice schedule. While Suffolk is not subject to the Emergency Tenant Protection Act covering NYC and select Westchester localities, HSTPA notice rules apply countywide. Local just-cause initiatives have not advanced at the county level, but bills in Albany would extend good-cause eviction statewide.
Failing to provide statutory notice voids the eviction. Continuing self-help measures like lockouts or utility shutoffs exposes the landlord to treble damages, attorney fees, and criminal charges under RPL Section 768.
