Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York
I am going to stipulation with my landlord due to a holdover eviction and they are presenting a buy out. I have reservations about the waiver in the stip. Is there a good general waiver I can propose? They are also asking for a judgement and a warrent of eviction. Is there any way I can get my money, give them back their apartment and protect myself and my credit rating. They are totally wrong. Also I have another case pending and I want to protect myself when I do the waiver with my present landlord. This is a retaliatory holdover eviction because I called HPD when they would not do repairs. I am willing to give them a waiver but they are asking me to go back all the way to 1992,
Any suggestions that would protect the other landlord tenant case while giving them what they might need? They have concerns as they know I was hurt both through negligence and negligent assault. Is it true you they can't use a waiver to protect themselves from personal injury liability in New York?
