Landlord Suits for Rent Not Owed
Landlords are only allowed to file lawsuits based on the rent actually owed.
- Have you been taken to court by your landlord claiming you owed thousands of dollars inrent that you had paid?
- Did you withhold rent to get the basic repairs you need and the landlord responded by suing you for far more than you had withheld?
- Have landlords and their attorneys threatened to evict you during the COVID-19 crisis?
You may be the victim of a predatory landlord practice to harass tenants into leaving theirapartments so that the landlords can raise the rent and make more money. Landlords try to intimidate many New Yorkers every year with frivolous lawsuits for tens of thousands of dollars.They break the law to make more money because they think they can get away with it.
