I've been in a market-rate (but reasonable) studio apartment in midtown for a year. I was hoping to stay for a few years at least, if the rent doesn't increase exorbitantly.
However, the landlord just left me a voicemail saying that they would not be renewing my lease Sept 1 because they have construction plans for the apt.
Do I have any recourse? They offered to let me know what other units are available in the building, but I have a feeling they'll be much more expensive.
I'd like to resolve this amicably and not get to the point of them having to evict me, but having less than two months' notice to come up with first last and deposit on a new apt is kind of ridiculous.
