Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
Tenant From Hell
My tenant has cost me over $12,000.00 in building fines after stealing a key to the unfinished basement. She calls police and fire dept. on daily basis to say I am harassing her and she throws away other tenants mail and takes photos of them. She is part of a govt. domestic violence program and has moved her husband in just recently. My question is this.. Do I have any recourse at all aside from eviction? She has made my life just miserable along with other tenants who no longer want to live there because of her.

You can not remove her without a warrant of eviction from court. Start the process now as it can drag on for months!!
