TENANTS’ RIGHTS GUIDE - Attorney General of New York
Residential Tenants' Rights Guide
Renter's Rights and Protections Under New York State Law
2
Dear Friends:
The contract between a tenant and landlord, whether based on a written lease or a handshake, is one of the most common and important deals made across our state. It defines how renters will enjoy their home, how owners will maintain their property, and it can even affect a neighborhood's stability. In New York State, there are several different laws governing this relationship, which can vary depending on the county or town where you live. This booklet explains many of these laws you need to know and provides resources where you can find more information about landlord and tenant issues. If you have questions about any of the material covered in this guide, or you need our assistance with a tenant matter, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (800) 771-7755 or visit my website at ag..
Sincerely,
