New York Landlord Tenant Law
New York landlord tenant law is composed primarily of state statutory and common law. A number of states have based their statutory law on either the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (URLTA) or the Model Residential Landlord-tenant Code.
The basis of the legal relationship between a landlord and tenant is grounded in both contract and property law.
The New York landlord tenant law can be specifically addressed online through Landlord 411.
The New York landlord and tenant law relationship issues can be found online within the handbook under the Table of Contents. The landlord and tenant law provisions in a lease are normally regulated under statutory law. Federal law under the Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing and the rental market.
