Your New York move-out, dated from notice to deposit.
Enter your lease end or the day you give notice. You get every step that matters, each with its date and the statute behind it: notice, the steps that start your landlord's clock, report day, keys, and the day the deposit is due.
Last day to give written noticeYour deadline
At least one month before the end of the term, outside New York City. Month-to-month tenancy outside New York City. A fixed-term lease or a signed agreement can set a different period: check yours.
Ask for the pre-move-out inspectionYour deadline
New York lets you request an inspection before you leave. It happens no earlier than two weeks and no later than one week before the end of the tenancy, and you get a list of what to fix.
Send your forwarding address in writingYour deadline
Give it in writing with a request to return the deposit, and keep proof of sending (certified mail or a dated e-mail).
Move-out condition report: photos of every roomYour deadline
Photograph each room after you clean, before you hand back the keys. Hashes and server receipts record when housr saw each photo.
Hand back the keys (your surrender date)Starts the clock
New York's clock starts when: you vacate. Write down the date and how you returned the keys.
Deposit and itemized list due backLandlord's deadline
14 calendar days from move-out.
If nothing has arrived: send the demand letterYour deadline
Late is a fact you can put in writing. The letter cites N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law §7-108(1-a) and the date it was due.
Small claims, if the demand goes unanswered
We haven't checked New York's small-claims limit yet. The date assumes the 10-day reply window housr suggests in the letter.
