Setting expectations for apartment showings with my landlord in NYC

Post date: 2021-02-28 15:49:51

I'm going to notify my landlord in NYC that I'll move out in 1 month, at the end of my lease. What are reasonable expectations for apartment showings as they find the next tenants? I'm curious about applicable tenant rights, if any, and how it's worked for you if you've moved/had a tenant move during the pandemic.

I'm asking because our needs seem potentially at odds: I want as few strangers in my apartment as possible, while I'm guessing my landlord will want to show it more aggressively to secure a new tenant ASAP. They're probably not any more eager for exposure than I am, but what we perceive as necessary risk may differ.

I'll also chance asking a tangential question because it seems straightforward: In NYC, after the initial 12(+) month lease, can you ever just keep renting month-to-month, or do you always need to sign another 12(+) month lease? Month-to-month has been common in the other cities I've lived in but doesn't seem to be a thing here?
