How far in advance of the expiration of my rent stabilized lease must I be offered a renewal lease, and how long do I have to return the lease?
The owner of a rent stabilized building is required to send you a lease renewal between 90 and 150 days before your existing lease expires. You then have 60 days to accept the lease renewal offer. If you wait longer than 60 days the landlord can refuse to renew your lease and could move to evict you after the lease expires. For more information on lease renewal in rent stabilized apartments see the fact sheet. More information on eviction can be found in the resources section of our website here and here.
