It all depends on how you were evicted and why you were evicted.

Did the landlord go to court to evict you or did he perform self-help?

What was the reason for the eviction?

I see you live in Suffolk County.

You should read the information on the Suffolk County landlord/tenant website.

If you believe you being are or have been illegally evicted, you might have a claim against the landlord.
