New York 14-Day Rent Demand Sequence
Download the New York nonpayment rent-demand sequence for residential tenancies: the RPAPL § 711(2) 14-Day Written Demand, the required RPL § 231-c Good Cause Eviction Law Notice, service instructions and affidavit, the RPL § 235-e(d) 5-Day Late-Rent Notice, and a #10 envelope.
This New York package is built as a five-document sequence. Use the 5-day certified-mail late-rent notice when rent is late, then serve the 14-day rent demand together with the Good Cause notice using RPAPL § 735 service.
The RPAPL § 711(2) 14-Day Written Demand for Past-Due Rent is the predicate notice for a New York residential nonpayment proceeding. It demands rent only and is served with the Good Cause Eviction Law Notice.
All five files are editable Microsoft Word documents. Complete the sequence carefully, keep served copies, and do not treat the documents as interchangeable.
Keep the RPL § 235-e(d) certified-mail late-rent notice separate from RPAPL § 735 service of the later 14-day demand. Certified mail alone is not enough for the demand.
This product includes five editable Microsoft Word files in sequence order: 14-Day Written Demand for Past-Due Rent, Good Cause Eviction Law Notice, Service Instructions & Affidavit of Service, 5-Day Late-Rent Notice, and #10 Mailing Envelope.
Self-help demand overview
New York nonpayment is not one interchangeable notice. The operative predicate notice is the 14-Day Written Demand for Past-Due Rent under RPAPL § 711(2).
The Good Cause Eviction Law Notice must be served with the demand in every tenancy. Good Cause coverage is New York City by default and opt-in elsewhere, but the RPL § 231-c notice requirement travels with the demand whether the unit is covered or exempt.
The 14-day demand and Good Cause notice must be served as prescribed by RPAPL § 735. The separate 5-Day Late-Rent Notice is the certified-mail notice sent when rent is not received within five days of the due date.

Quick answer
New York nonpayment is a sequence, not one interchangeable notice. Send the RPL § 235-e(d) 5-day late-rent notice by certified mail when rent is late, then serve the RPAPL § 711(2) 14-day written rent demand together with the RPL § 231-c Good Cause Eviction Law notice using RPAPL § 735 service.
The 14-Day Written Demand for Past-Due Rent is the operative predicate notice for a New York residential nonpayment proceeding. Post-HSTPA, an oral demand or old 3-day demand is not enough.
The Good Cause Eviction Law notice is not a menu item or optional add-on. RPL § 231-c requires it to be appended to or incorporated into the rent demand in every tenancy; if the unit is exempt, the notice states the exemption.

Yes. This product is the New York nonpayment rent-demand sequence for residential tenancies, centered on the RPAPL § 711(2) 14-Day Written Demand for Past-Due Rent and the related New York companion notices and service materials.
This New York product includes five editable Microsoft Word files in sequence order: the 14-Day Written Demand for Past-Due Rent, the Good Cause Eviction Law Notice, Service Instructions & Affidavit of Service, the 5-Day Late-Rent Notice, and a #10 Mailing Envelope.
No. RPL § 231-c requires the Good Cause Eviction Law notice to be appended to or incorporated into the 14-day rent demand in every tenancy. If the unit is exempt, complete the exemption section rather than omitting the notice.
No. The 14-day demand and Good Cause notice must be served as prescribed by RPAPL § 735 — personal, substituted, or nail-and-mail service, with the required mailings for non-personal service. Certified mail alone is associated with the separate 5-Day Late-Rent Notice, not the predicate rent demand.
The nonpayment demand should claim rent only. RPL § 238-a bars recovering late fees, legal fees, utilities, or other non-rent charges in a summary nonpayment proceeding.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. You are responsible for reviewing the completed demand sequence, lease terms, New York law, Good Cause coverage, rent-regulation status, service rules, and court requirements before serving or relying on it.
