Gordon Law, P.C. - Queens Real Estate Lawyer has revealed the changes to the New York State Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL), that affect the landlord-tenant relationship. The RPAPL has been amended to include Section 702, which defines "rent" in a residential dwelling to be the monthly or weekly amount charged in consideration. It excludes any additional fees from the definition of rent. This becomes important when filing a proceeding for non-payment.
Section 711 of RPAPL has also been amended to indicate that no tenant or lawful occupant of a dwelling shall be removed except in a special proceeding. Also, a written demand for rent has to be made with at least 14 days' notice for requiring payment of rent, or possession of the premises. This was previously just 3 days. Furthermore, Section 735 requires service of the notice by personal delivery, by mailing, or affixing to the door of the residence followed by mailing.
There are many other changes to the RPAPL, which affect the relationship between landlords and tenants. Thus, it is often advisable for property owners to protect their Queens landlord rights by consulting with a dependable landlord tenant lawyer.

The lawyer can also work directly with the home seller’s lawyer, the real estate agents, and the real estate financing officer to ensure that everything will proceed as smoothly as possible.
