Landlords: Avoid Costly Damages

Self-help — including eviction or taking back property on your own — is a dangerous choice for landlords.

Landlords that violate New York law may be liable to pay tenants triple damages if an eviction is later determined unlawful.

If you need to evict a tenant quickly, we can pursue a lawful eviction through summary proceeding under Article 7 of the NYS Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL). Article 7 provides an expedited method to evict tenants who have defaulted on their lease. The landlord may sue for past due rent in addition to seeking a lawful eviction. If the lease calls for accelerated rent, an action must be commenced in Supreme Court, New York’s trial level court. Our attorneys have extensive experience in Article 7 summary proceedings, accelerated rent actions in Supreme Court, and other landlord-tenant matters that may affect your rights.

  • If I hire an attorney but do not want to go to trial, can I settle?
    In the course of preparing a case for trial, your personal injury attorney will work with the defense attorneys and insurance companies in an effort to secure a fair settlement for you and your family. The final decision to accept an offer of settlement or go to trial is yours alone to make.

    3. Request to have your attorney present if you are to be put in a lineup or subjected to testing.

  • What is the difference between criminal procedure and civil procedure?
    When a crime has been committed, action is taken by a government agency against the person, persons, organization or other entity that violated the law. The first purpose of a criminal prosecution is punishment, which frequently consists of a fine or jail time. In a civil matter, the dispute is between two or more individuals or entities. The first purpose of a civil prosecution is obtaining compensation for the wronged person or entity. Settlement in a civil matter is generally an award of a money judgment. A criminal sentence is not imposed in a civil matter.
