Frequently Asked Questions

My landlord wants me to move, what should I do?

Welcome to St. Nicks
If you have lived in the apartment for more than 30 days, your landlord cannot legally evict you, without taking you to court. If you are in a rent regulated building or apartment, your landlord can only force you to move for specific reasons (which are generally limited to "personal use" and "nuisance", as defined by state law) and he must give you specific notice as to why he is failing to renew your lease.

I entitled to notice if my landlord wants to increase my rent?

Frequently Asked Questions of the Housing Court Department
The tenancy between the parties is a legal contract. It cannot be changed by one side. The tenant can agree to a rent increase. But if the tenant does not agree to the rent increase, then the landlord must terminate the tenancy. In a tenancy at will, the landlord must then give a notice to quit but such written notice may include an offer to establish a new tenancy for the same premises at the higher rent.

So stop pummeling yourself already, alright? Let's give that brain a rest. Well, it is to most of us.
