If a landlord does not want to renew your lease in a non-rent-stabilized unit, what is the recommended course of action?

The recommended course of action when faced with a landlord who does not want to renew a lease in a non-rent-stabilized unit is often to negotiate a new lease with the landlord. This option enables the tenant to discuss the terms of the lease and possibly come to a mutual agreement that satisfies both parties. Open communication can sometimes lead to favorable outcomes, such as extending the lease or adjusting the rental terms.

Filing a complaint with the Housing Authority could be an option in specific scenarios, particularly if there are violations of housing laws or tenant rights, but it may not be the most immediately effective approach in the context of lease renewal. Relying on a Customer Contact Center for a transfer may not address the core issue since the landlord's decision on the lease renewal is central. Lastly, searching for a new property without assistance does not address the immediate situation and may prove more challenging without guidance or support. Overall, engaging in negotiation with the landlord is the most constructive and proactive measure in this scenario.
