Are you kidding me? This PLACE does not function as a court. They function as a very busy, very popular restaurant. Letting "VIPs" through. "Liking" or "Disliking" you. They IGNORE your trial date and time (your reservation), and if you're finally ALLOWED into a courtroom (escorted to a table), your case is adjourned because you're late (even though you'd showed up an hour early)! The "outside court" is run by people who hate their jobs and hate you. YOU are an INCONVENIENCE. The SAME attitude hits you once you FINALLY get called before a judge. MY judge considered every word I HAD to say as IRRITATING. IRRELEVANT. BESIDE THE POINT. She, oddly, ruled in my favor, but it was a multi-day, insanely frustrating experience. AARRGGHH!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I had a mom myself. First my condolences to your mom ad the apartment, if you lived at the for at least three years, you could be the co-tennant and by law you be awarded the apartment. I know because when my mom passed on, I the apartment was turned over to me so check to see if your the co-tennant if you lived in tbe apartment for at least three years, you could have the apartment. That's how it was in my situation I lived with my mother in the same apartment for forty six years and when she passed on, the apartment was turned over to me

Shelly “Shelly” Shepard | Oct 2, 2020

Thirty days after a person moves out is a good amount of time for storing anyone stuff, after that you have the right to dispose of that stuff if it's not picked up by then. If you have a number or forwarding address? Send a written notice and keep a copy of the written note . take photos of the stuff left behind and dispose of it after 30 days.

When a 🏠 is sold what are the rights of the tenants that are still living there, I was issued a vacate letter giving me only 2 months.

Jaime Ortiz | Oct 3, 2018
John Elejalde | Oct 3, 2018

If it's a private house (5 units or less) your rights end with the previous owner. The new owner has no contract with you. In NY an owner must serve a 30 day notice to give you the opportunity to leave voluntarily before being able to initiate a case. Once the case is initiated it's pretty much a lost cause. You can either negotiate a deal with the owner to leave on a specific date or take your chances with a judge deciding. Everything is negotiable with the owner: time and money. There's no negotiating if you go to trial. The max a judge can give is 6 months paying for that time as well as paying any arrears owed at time case comes to court.
