I think if they want to do your kitchen, they have to provide you with accomodations, i.e. hotel or corporate housing. Otherwise, your lease is in effect and they have to give you enough notice in writing that your lease will NOT be renewed. Confused by your post, though...you say lease is in effect til 2007 - it is now 2008! [ Reply | More

well...you are month to month now, although you do need this in writing . In this case landlord has more control...they do have to give you 30 days notice to vacate, though. My advice would be to start looking for new apartment so you are prepared for worst case scenario. [ Reply | More

In a rent stabilized apartment, does the landlord ahve the option to simply not offer a lease renewal without casue or explanation? I don't think they can do that. [ Reply | More

careful about that renovation. They might be ale to raise your rent bc of the improvements, which might kick you over $2000. [ Reply | More
