New York Landlord Law: A Practical Survival Guide
About this book
New York Landlord Law: A Practical Survival Guide helps New York residential property owners avoid the compliance errors that cost them cases. Attorney Ngozi E. Bolin explains which laws apply to a property, rent stabilization and Good Cause Eviction issues, notice, service and registration pitfalls, and how to keep records that hold up in housing court.
A Practical Survival Guide
One small compliance error can erase months of work and thousands of dollars in unpaid rent. New York courts expect owners to know which rules apply, follow every required step, and prove that they did. A notice served a day early, an outdated form, a missing registration or an unlawful charge can turn a strong case into a dismissal, a delay, a refund or a penalty.
New York Landlord Law shows residential owners where landlords most often lose and how to reduce those risks before a dispute reaches housing court.
