Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
small claims court winnings
can a claimant in a landlord tenant suit get more than $5000 in small claims court if they are suing for $5000 and in the lease it states that if he sues us and wins we are responsible for his legal costs as well. So is there a chance we may pay more than $5000 if he ends up winning?
