Common questions

Do I need a written lease in New York?

A written lease is strongly recommended. It documents rent, deposits, repairs, and notice rules that oral agreements cannot prove easily.

Can I customize the New York lease before downloading?

Is this legal advice?

No — RentLedger provides document tools, not legal services. Have a New York attorney review your lease for your property and city rules.

Not legal advice — confirm New York landlord-tenant rules with a local attorney before serving notices or filing in court.
