Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York
NYC (Manhattan) Rent Control - Notice to Cure
Hi: I'm a lawyer in Philadelphia. Client got a Ten Day Notice to Cure. Client's sister was originally named tenant in rent-controlled apartment. Sister moved out to go abroad for two years. Client (male) moved in with his wife, while Sister (now gone) ''remained'' on the lease. Practically, the brother and his wife lived there but under the original lease to maintain the awesome rent control rate. Here's the question(s): (1) procedurally, what happens next (eviction, right?); (2) and the real question is: how long can this process be effectively DELAYED? Because the client realistically needs time to move out--like six months. Can it be done? Thanks to my fellow attorneys! If you need anything in Philly, let me know!!!

It can be delayed. There will have to be an eviction proceeding in L&T Court - someone needs to show up (preferably a lawyer) and argue that the tenants will leave but need 6 mos - they'll pay rent until then etc. It is ultimately up to the Judge, but they are fairly liberal in NYC when it comes to this sort of thing, and your clients are being reasonable.
Hope that helps.
