Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Need tenants apt for personal use

Own 2 family house. Need to move my dad (91) into tenants apt- He is very ill. On 7/8/ I told her we need apt for him and his sister (95) and would like it in 60 days. We lied about my aunt because if dad dies before she moves at least we could say my aunt still needs the space. I would give her more time but Dad may not live that long. . He has a nurse for 3 days a week-and that's all. His MD says he cannot be alone anymore. I work full time. I dont want to contact a lawyer if I dont have to just yet because then things get ugly. She is a problem tenant but that's anotheri issue .I just want her to leave in 2 but not more than 3 months. I want to give her a letter stating that I need her apt for personal use by Sept. 15th. Help asap, thanks.

Re: Need tenants apt for personal use

Depending on status of tenant (whether under lease or not, rent stablized, etc.) the type of notice you are required to give may vary. However, as long as the tenant is not rent stablized it should not be a problem to have them evicted if they do not vacate the apartment voluntarily. Even if the apt is rent stablized you do have options. Either way, NY State has very strict guidelines that must be followed very carefully in order to properly notify and evict tenants. 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.
