My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: NY
When my LL gave me my copy of the apartment lease I found that they had added clauses after it was signed. Is it valid?

Can you prove they were not there when you signed the lease? That is going to be the hard part.
As to any contract being valid; the original contract would remain valid. The alterations would not.
We were in the same room signed the lease at the same time. It took them 4 days to give me a copy. When I got the copy they had added clauses that did not exist at the time of signing. I told them that was unacceptable and requested that they circle the additions and note that they added it AFTER we all signed it.
so, did they somehow indicate what the additions were?
Basically, if this goes to court, what proof do you have there were additions?
When they gave me the copy, before I even looked at it they stated that they made a few additions. My proof (I hope) is that my copy is clearly a copy and LL, in ink, circled the additions and noted that they added them after we had both signed the lease and that I was not in agreement with changes made.
well, that sounds fairly convincing.
