    Default Landlord is Spying On Me, No Lease, and I'm Being Told to Leave

    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone knows the Tenant law of NY state.And I been at this residence for nearly 5 and 1/2 yrs. My landlord spied on me on and off throughout the yrs, as well as let herself in my place, while I wasn't home. She has even stole electric from me, by allowing her son to plug an outside wire to use his drills on a neighbors house. Recently I was approached by the landlord, she acted very sincere, and was nice, so I didn't think anything of it. She asked me if the dog barking next door was bothering me, because it was bothering her, and her son. I told her yes it was. I also made her aware that I was afraid of the individual who would be released from prison soon. She assured me that everything would be fine, I told her if it isn't, and something is done to my car or myself, I would call the police. Not a week later, she talks with the tenants about everything I told her, she then tells me, she doesn't want no cops here, and that I will have to leave. My question is this, Does she have the right to kick me out without a reason or the reason because I told her I would call the cops if I had a problem? She favors the tenant that she complains about, also is friends with the inmate who will be relased from jail soon, so I guess they want me out. What are my rights as a tenant? I asked her if she kicks me out, can she give me longer than 30 days, she said NO, she gives 30 days. What are the laws of NY tenant rights without a lease? She has gotten away with things, esp when she stole electric from me, spying on me, etc. I am sick of it. Any advice you can give, I would greatly appreciate it. NY

    Default Re: Help! No lease, Landlord spying=me being told to leave

    According to the NY AG's site,
    Quote Quoting Month-to-Month Tenants
    Tenants who do not have leases and pay rent on a monthly basis are called "month-to-month" tenants. In localities without rent regulations, tenants who stay past the end of a lease are treated as month-to-month tenants if the landlord accepts their rent. (Real Property Law § 232-c)

    A month-to-month tenancy outside New York City may be terminated by either party by giving at least one month's notice before the expiration of the term. For example, if the rent is due on the first of each month, the landlord must inform the tenant by September 30th before the October rent is due that he wants the tenant to move out by November 1st. The termination notice need not specify why the landlord seeks possession of the apartment. Such notice does not automatically allow the landlord to evict the tenant. A landlord may raise the rent of a month-to-month tenant with the consent of the tenant. If the tenant does not consent, however, the landlord can terminate the tenancy by giving appropriate notice. (Real Property Law § 232-b)

    In New York City, the landlord must serve the tenant with a written termination giving 30 days notice before the expiration of the term. The notice must state that the landlord elects to terminate the tenancy and that refusal to vacate will lead to eviction proceedings. (Real Property Law § 232-a)
