Landlord-Tenant Litigation

Support

Protect Your Landlord-Tenant  Cases Before the Court Exposes the Weakness

 

New York court are now less forgiving.

Since the enactment of the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 procedural errors are not technicalities — they are case-ending events:

  • Dismissals.

  • Vacated defaults.

  • Defective predicates.

  • Service challenges.

  • Appellate reversals.

Why Landlord Cases Fail

Most landlord cases do not fail on the merits.

They fail because:

  • A rent demand was premature.

  • A predicate notice was defective.

  • Service was insufficient.

  • A ledger was inaccurate.

  • A required mailing was omitted.

  • An affidavit was conclusory.

  • A procedural step was skipped.

 judges scrutinize procedure aggressively.

The Appellate Term scrutinizes even more aggressively.
