Rent
How much can my landlord raise rent in New York?
It depends on whether your unit is rent-stabilized. Rent-stabilized units (about one million in NYC, plus ETPA municipalities) can only rise by the percentage the Rent Guidelines Board sets each year. Market-rate units have no cap, but a landlord must give 30–90 days' notice for an increase of 5% or more.

Under the 2019 HSTPA, for a market-rate tenant a landlord must give 30 days' notice (tenancy under a year), 60 days (1–2 years), or 90 days (2+ years) before raising rent 5% or more or not renewing.
