New York Enacts 90-Day Pre-Foreclosure Notice Law for HOAs and Condominiums

A standard eviction process begins with a written notice that explains: (1) why the tenancy is ending, (2) what cure options exist (if any), and (3) when possession is due. An eviction process demands compliance at both the state and federal level where applicable.
- State statutes govern both form and timing. For example, in New York, landlords must serve a 14-day rent demand before filing a nonpayment case. In California, a three-day “pay or quit” notice is standard, and the notice must follow strict content rules.
- Federal law adds a separate 30-day requirement for many federally-backed or subsidized properties under the CARES Act and HUD’s 2024 rule. In practice, an eviction notice is only valid when it meets both state and federal standards for cause, content, and timing, which now vary more widely than ever before.
Recent developments point to expanding tenant protections at the notice stage. Several cities, including Los Angeles and Seattle, now require landlords to attach right-to-counsel or rental-assistance disclosures with every notice. California narrowed the permissible “substantial remodel” ground (by tightening the definition and adding stricter criteria) and now mandates that landlords provide detailed statements about the planned work, permit information, and relocation/reoccupation terms when they seek to evict under that ground. Local “just cause” laws now require longer advance periods for no-fault terminations, often 60 or 90 days. Meanwhile, eviction filings continue to rise toward pre-pandemic levels. This likely heightens the scrutiny over notice compliance.
A trend in this field is likely developing: a jurisdictional emphasis on transparency, documentation, and tenant awareness before any eviction reaches court. It is therefore imperative that landlords stay well informed on the most recent eviction notice updates in their relevant jurisdictions.
