What New York law says

Lease Agreements

Since the 2019 HSTPA reform, security deposits are capped at 1 month's rent statewide and must be returned within 14 days of move-out with an itemized statement.

Eviction Notices

New York requires a 14-day notice for monthly tenants and a 90-day notice to terminate certain fixed-term leases. NYC has additional rent stabilization protections.

Wills & Estates

New York requires two witnesses for a valid will, and specific language for residuary clauses is strongly recommended to avoid probate disputes.

Signing & Records

Electronic signatures are valid under New York's Electronic Signatures and Records Act (ESRA), giving them the same legal weight as ink signatures for most agreements.

Laws change frequently, so always consult a licensed local attorney before executing a legal document.
