Q. can the landlord take my stuff out(she has threatened or should i say her friend who served me did ) or does it go to court?

A. There is no self-help eviction. It must go to court.

Q. how does this work-also he said noone will rent to me once this is done how do i react?

A. When you receive the Notice of Petition and Petition, you should make an appointment with the Volunteer Lawyer's Project in Nassau County. The agency will provide you with free legal counsel and will help you with the eviction. VLP's telephone number is: 516-292-8299.
