Can you (legally)remove a tenant if you want to live in the unit?

[Daniel Cavallari]

Hey BP community I am looking to purchase my first property and have been looking at multifamily options. I plan on using the house hacking strategy by living in one of the units (finally getting out of my parents house), while renting the other(s). However, many of the properties I have looked at have all units filled with tenants who plan on staying into the future. I was wondering if anyone knows how I can (legally) remove a tenant if I plan to live in the unit. Located in NY. Thanks in advance for any advice.
