Quote from @Jin Zhang: You initiate the process by filing a 3-day Notice.

Is there an app that can streamline this process by synchronizing updates across all these platforms, thus alleviating the need for constant manual updates?

Also credit score 680 with no missed payments over the last 2 years and also check their criminal report just to make sure you know who these tenants are, as the eviction process in New York city is very long and expensive. 

I just went throught the entire screening process and its more like $6,800. 

I just got off the phone today with an investor-friendly real estate agent in another state (not NYS) who has a whole team behind her and has made it seem as if real estate investing is a much simpler process.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

If they move soon, one month vacancy would eat away any savings of a hard "no" and it's wintertime (here) where vacancy is harder to fill...I'd at least discuss with the tenant and have someone do a bid to find out what it even costs for this home.

Start to get some processes down.  

I am looking to make a couple connections now during the moving process.

We are willing to provide additional documentation to support our request and discuss any potential steps to ensure a smooth and fair process for all parties involved.Thank you for your attention to this matter.
