NYC, NY. 4 family house (Not subject to Rent Stabilizion law.)
Tenant has given me 30 days notice of moving out.
They have lived in apartment for five years. I didn't keep a key to the apartment when they moved in, have never had one, and have never asked them for one.
Now that they are moving out, I would like to show the apartment to new prospective tenants. They have agreed to make the apartment available most reasonable times but would not give me a key so I could show it even if they weren't home.
Does the law provide that a landlord can show the apartment when the current tenant isn't there?
Is the tenant required to give me a key to do so, even though I allowed years to pass without having one?
This will probably not be a big issue as I will probably be able to get access most of the time, but I was just wondering what my rights are.
