Yes, you can evict a tenant without a written lease in New York, but you must follow the legal process, which requires written notice and a court order. For nonpayment of rent, a 14-day notice to pay or quit is required; for other issues or no specific cause, a 30-day notice is typically required to terminate a month-to-month tenancy. In New York City, additional local regulations under the Rent Stabilization and Rent Control laws may apply.
