Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Re: New York Subletter Rights

Well unfortunately whether he is on lease or not, if a person has any right to be in an apartment, if they do not leave voluntarily, the landlord must institute summary proceedings for an eviction via the Housing Court. These actions require following the notice provisions of the NY statutes to a tee and any slight variation from what they proscribe can lead to an action being marked off or substantial delays. As such, if they do not seem to be leaving voluntarily, it would be highly advisable to retain an attorney to ensure that the proceedings go smoothly and a warrant of eviction is obtained as quickly as possible. This area of law is our specialty, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
