LANDLORD REPRESENTATION

We have advocated for homeowners, landlords, rent-stabilized building owners, and owners of commercial properties in numerous types of cases and disputes, including:

• Holdover cases to restore possession of the property

• Nonpayment cases to recover rent

• Defending against HPD-initiated proceedings

• Tenant actions

Our experienced attorneys ensure that all legal requirements are met, from issuing notices to court proceedings. Our proactive approach aims to settle cases early, but we are fully prepared to go to trial if needed.

TENANT REPRESENTATION

On the tenant side, we help tenants make sense of the complicated NYC Housing rules and regulations, including:

• Lease review negotiations

• Eviction defense

• Rent control and stabilization issues

• Habitability issues

• Scrutinize landlords' paperwork for defects  

• Advocate for rent reductions if there are significant repair issues​

Our team can provide general legal counsel on tenant rights and responsibilities, and represent tenants in small claims or housing court.
