Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Re: How long do I have before eviction as a commercial tenant in Brooklyn, NY

Q. My question is if I cannot come up with the money, how long will it take my landlord to evict me?

A. It depends on where the action was commenced. In Nassau County for a commercial eviction, approximately 30 to 60 days.

Q. Also, if down the line I come up with the rent can I stay if I pay it?

A. After the Judgment of Possession and Warrant of Eviction is issued, no.

Q. Also, when I first rented the place, I was orally promised the place on the 25th of the month. The existing tenant did not surrender the place until the 10 of the next month. Because of the above I had scheduling conflicts and the rigging company and installer pushed back my install date for over a month. The landlord originally refused to compensate me. Do I have any recours?

A. Assuming you have a written lease and assuming these issues are not in writing, no.

Mike.

An attorney who knows the system can get time for you to try to recoup. prior to a warrant of eviction you can always pay the rent due and maintain possession.

I have represented many clients in your situation.

Commercial actions in Housing Court are usually much quicker as you don't have as many rights and defenses available as those afforded Residential tenants. There are ways and methods by which to extend your time that we can achieve. This area of law is our specialty, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
