Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Re: evicting ex girlfriend

Eviction procedures are VERY precise.

If you make the slightest procedural mistake it will get dismissed.

You need to determine whether she is a tenant or a licensee or something else. See an attorney.

Re: evicting ex girlfriend

If your ex paid you a set amount each month for rent, she is a tenant. Depending on your jurisdiction you would have to serve notice and then commence a summary proceeding.

If your ex never paid any money toward rent, she would be a licensee. And again, you would have to serve notice and commence a summary proceeding.

Re: evicting ex girlfriend

Whether she is a tenant or a licensee NYS provides very specific regulations with regard to the type of notice that must be served and the specific petition that must be filed with the court requesting an eviction. Theymust be followed to a tee, as such it is highly reccomended to retain an expirienced landlord tenant attorney. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases, and our fees are very reasonable, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination.
