Q: If you want to evict squatters in New York State, how many days to quit the premises must the Notice to Quit indicate?
A:
Dear Stony Brook Property Owner:
How do you know that person is a "squatter"? Lawyers wrestle with the facts associated with defining status.
"...§ 713. Grounds where no landlord-tenant relationship exists. A special
proceeding may be maintained under this article after a ten-day notice
to quit has been served upon the respondent in the manner prescribed in
section 735, upon the following grounds:
3. He or the person to whom he has succeeded has intruded into or
squatted upon the property without the permission of the person entitled
to possession and the occupancy has continued without permission or
permission has been revoked and notice of the revocation given to the
person to be removed..." [https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/RPA/713].
