Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Re: Landlord giving me one month

He has to bring a legal action to evict you. He needs a court order.

Re: Landlord giving me one month

You can request alot more than a month if you can show reasonable cause for it. He cannot evict you without a judgment and a warrant of eviction. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.

Re: Landlord giving me one month

Jason is correct but let me add the following:

When the landlord commences an action for an eviction, if you demonstrate that you are paying rent and actively seeking another apartment, the Judge should give you additional time. In my 20 years practicing law I never saw a Judge refuse a reasonable request.
