Landlord Rent Date Change

Summary

In New York, landlords cannot change the rent payment date or use the security deposit as rent without the tenants consent. This rule applies even if you have been living in the household for over five years. If your landlord is attempting to change your rent payment date from the 25th to the 1st and use your old security deposit as the new first months security, they are not allowed to do so without your agreement. For personalized advice, it is recommended to consult a local attorney.
