Re: wants to get a tenant in an ilegal apartment
The problem is that the law entitles a tenant in an illegal apartment six months rent for moving expenses. The solution may be to get them to move using the carrot and the stick, offering less money but not actually filing an action to evict in Landlord/Tenant Court.
