N.Y. Real Property Law § 232-c: Holding over by a tenant after expiration of a term longer than one month; effect of acceptance of rent

§ 232-c. Holding over by a tenant after expiration of a term longer

than one month; effect of acceptance of rent. Where a tenant whose term

is longer than one month holds over after the expiration of such term,

such holding over shall not give to the landlord the option to hold the

tenant for a new term solely by virtue of the tenant's holding over. In

the case of such a holding over by the tenant, the landlord may proceed,

in any manner permitted by law, to remove the tenant, or, if the

landlord shall accept rent for any period subsequent to the expiration

of such term, then, unless an agreement either express or implied is

made providing otherwise, the tenancy created by the acceptance of such

rent shall be a tenancy from month to month commencing on the first day

after the expiration of such term.
