Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Re: Unlawful Eviction

There is no such thing as self-help eviction. Assuming the apartment was legal, you have a cause of action against the landlord for unlawful eviction.

Are you free to move? Yes.

Re: Unlawful Eviction

Your landlord cannot use self help to evict you. He needs a court order.

Re: Unlawful Eviction

An unlawful eviction such as you describe is illegal and you can move or be allowed back in to the apt. We are very experienced in 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.
