Landlord/Tenant Disputes Questions, Answered by Our Attorneys

We represent both landlords and tenants, and we tailor our approach to your side of the dispute. We handle each matter based on your goals and the facts.

A nonpayment proceeding seeks unpaid rent and, if necessary, possession. A holdover proceeding seeks to remove a tenant for reasons other than nonpayment, such as staying past the lease term or a lease violation.

Often, yes. Many landlord-tenant disputes can be resolved through negotiation. We work toward resolution before matters escalate, while staying ready to litigate if needed.

New York requires specific notices and procedures in landlord-tenant matters, and errors can delay or undermine a case. We make sure the process is handled correctly from the start.
