The 2024 Good Cause Eviction law requires good cause to evict or to refuse renewal, but exempts landlords owning 10 or fewer units statewide.
Municipalities outside New York City opt in, and several have tightened the exemption to 1–4 units, so upstate is harder than the statewide baseline rather than softer.
- Unit counts
- Up to 10 units
In effect since 2024-04-20.
