New York sets the form for a rent increase notice, so this page shows the rule. A free Honestkey account fills in the statutory form from your answers.
Legal basis: N.Y. Real Prop. Law § 226-c
Read this before you serve it
A notice of an increase of 5% or more must append or contain the Good Cause Eviction notice in N.Y. Real Prop. Law § 231-c, saying whether the home is covered and, if not, why (§ 226-c(1)(a)). Honestkey attaches that notice, filled in from your answers. Because the law sets the form, no general template — including ours — is the right document, so this page does not print one.

30-90 days by time in the unit, for increases of 5%+. (N.Y. Real Prop. Law § 226-c)
5% plus the annual CPI change, or 10%, whichever is lower (Good Cause Eviction's local rent standard, a rebuttable presumption). The statute runs until June 15, 2034. Good Cause Eviction applies in New York City and in cities, towns and villages that opt in, and only to covered units. Not covered: landlords with 10 or fewer units, owner-occupied buildings of 10 or fewer units, rent-regulated and income-restricted units, condos and co-ops, buildings first occupied on or after January 1, 2009 (for 30 years), seasonal units, and rents above 245% of fair market rent. Local rent control: New York City rent stabilization and local Good Cause opt-ins apply.

No. It is a template checked against New York's statutes, and Honestkey is not a law firm. Have an attorney licensed in New York review your notice before you serve it, and check the city or county where the home is for rent rules of its own.
