§ 226-c. Notice of rent increase or non-renewal of residential
tenancy. 1. * (a) Whenever a landlord intends to offer to renew the
tenancy of an occupant in a residential dwelling unit with a rent
increase equal to or greater than five percent above the current rent,
or the landlord does not intend to renew the tenancy, the landlord shall
provide written notice as required in subdivision two of this section.
The notice shall append or contain the notice required pursuant to
section two hundred thirty-one-c of this article, which shall state the
following: (i) if the unit is or is not subject to article six-A of this
chapter, the "good cause eviction law", and if the unit is exempt, such
notice shall state why the unit is exempt from such law; (ii) if the
landlord is not renewing the lease for a unit subject to article six-A
of this chapter, the lawful basis for such non-renewal; and (iii) if the
landlord is increasing the rent upon an existing lease of a unit subject
to article six-A of this chapter above the applicable local rent
standard, as defined in subdivision eight of section two hundred eleven
of this chapter, the justification for such increase. If the landlord
fails to provide timely notice, the occupant's lawful tenancy shall
continue under the existing terms of the tenancy from the date on which
the landlord gave actual written notice until the notice period has
expired, notwithstanding any provision of a lease or other tenancy
agreement to the contrary. * NB Effective August 18, 2024 until June 15, 2034
