Re: Tenant Owes Rent
You should serve notice to quit on your tenant and if he/she does not leave, you can initiate "holdover proceedings" in Court in order to evict the tenant.

You should really get an experienced lawyer. A specific notice must be served and then a Petition to initiate summary proceedings for eviction. New York State has very specific guidelines that must be followed very carefully. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination.
