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.
