What is the best way to remove a tenant ?

[Shamo Shehu]

I have a tenant in a small multi family house in NYC that I would like to leave. I told her 1yr in advance that I need the Apt to be vacant so I can renovate it and use it for myself.

The problem is she recently told me that she going through chemotherapy now. So I gave it about another 6 months so she can get her self together.

I let her know again and she doesn’t want to leave. It seems to me like she never wanted to leave in the first place to begin with.

How can I get her to leave ?
