Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York
Apt. Buyout
My Landlord tried to evict me earlier in the
year (without success) from my one-
bedroom, rent-stabilized apt where I've
lived for 30 years. He now wants to buy
me out, how much should I ask for. I'm on
the Upper East side, top floor, 1-bed with
huge terrace.
Thanks.

Re: Apt. Buyout
I can't judge "how much" for you, you can ask for anything, but I can guarantee your landlord will offer more if you have someone experienced negotiating for you than if you try to do it yourself. I have negotiated these kind of deals in the past if you would like to discuss representation.
Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.

The answer to your question depends on several factors but it is extremely likely that you would get a larger settlement if you had an experienced negotiator in your corner. This area of law is our specialty, and we do handle these types of negotiations often and to the great satisfaction of our clients; however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
