Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York
I gave the tenant until 5 Pm to pay the balance of the rent which was due on the 1st. I have given this family numerous chances and the rent is continually late. I have been renting the house for 8 years and this is the third tenant.
I gather that I will probably start the eviction process tomorrow if the rent is not paid today. Has anyone done a recent eviction in Nassau County? How long before the court will issue an order instructing the tenant to move?

Q. How long before the court will issue an order instructing the tenant to move?
A. The Court does not issue an Order. The Court awards a Judgment of Possession and Warrant of Eviction. The warrant is then delivered to the Sheriff who does the eviction. In terms of time, the Court generally disposes the action in approximately 30 days. Of course, the time may vary based on motions or other issues that you do not raise in your question. The Sheriff is longer - generally 6 to 8 weeks depending on the season.

We have handled evictions in Nassau.
