Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
I just received a notice of petition on my door from my landlord asking for payment that is above what I own in rent. I am currently two months behind. He is asking well above that amount. He does not have a signed lease from me so at this point we are in a month-to-month arrangement. Does he have a right to take me to court? I read that he must give 30 days notice in NYC if he wants to evict me.
How should I proceed? The notice is dated November 3rd but I only received it yesterday (November 10).

Thirty days if he wants to terminate your lease, but its only 5 days if hes claiming your failure to pay rent. He is not seeking to evict you unless you fail to pay.
We have substantial experience handling these types of cases, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
