Sounds like he gave you the terms of the new lease and you didnt accept them. You really can't proove that he didnt give you the new lease agreement terms. You should move out today.

That's not how the law works, but thanks for your input.

The burden of proof is on you. I am sure your landlord has a copy of the new lease agreement that you didnt accept. Thats 100% how the law works. Youll just be evicted and have a judgement placed against you for the unpaid rent.

If I recall correctly once a lease expires you fall into a month to month situation if a new lease wasn't signed or offered. Technically you're now a month to month tenant at the old rate. So no rate increase and thus no 60 day notice requirement since your lease is now officially expired.

And I think being month to month also alters the notice rules after which you can be asked to leave. I would look up the notice rules and set that as my timeline to leave. Cause taking the April deal also means taking the increase.

Mentally put yourself in the mindset that you have to gtfo, and start making decisions about that. Look up the month to month notice rules so you know your rights. And as a last resort contact a lawyer to advise you. A few hundred dollars for a meeting is worth the stress alleviation it can provide once you know where you stand legally.

Surely he has to show proof the lease was sent to you. Anyone can just type up a lease and print it right before a hearing and say see judge here's the lease I offered 60 days ago! They're lying, not me!

If the landlord of the non-regulated unit intends to renew the lease with

a rent increase of more than 5%, or does not intend to renew the lease,

they must provide advanced written notice:

• If you have lived in your apartment two or more years, or if you

have a two-year lease, your landlord must provide you with 90

days advanced written notice before raising your rent or not

renewing your lease;

• If you have lived in your apartment for more than one year, but

less than two years, your landlord must provide you with 60 days

advanced notice before raising your rent or not renewing your

lease; or

• If you have lived in your apartment for less than one year, or have

a lease for less than one year, your landlord must provide you with

30 days advanced notice before raising your rent or not renewing

your lease. (Real Property Law § 226-c)
