Problem is that the contract has additional terms, and the relevant one is you must offer lease renewal in NYC. The contract is only temporary from the perspective of the tenant, it’s actually indefinite from the landlord’s view. And both the tenant and landlord knew the law when offering the lease and signing it so that’s the end of it.

You cannot end run around the law by trying to be “clever” and technically offering a lease renewal of 10 billion dollars a month. The world doesn’t work by programmer logic.
