An eviction, for example, can stay on your record for seven years or until the statute of limitations expires, whichever is longer. If you've ever owed a debt to a property manager that was ultimately discharged in a bankruptcy proceeding, it's likely that information will stay on record for up to ten years.
The sheriff schedules the eviction, providing the tenant with a 14 day notice of eviction. Depending on how busy the sheriff is it can take anywhere from one to two months for the sheriff to serve the 14 day notice.
Unless and until the judge grants the motion and sets the eviction order aside, the eviction order is valid and enforceable (unless the court orders otherwise). The tenant can file a motion to stay, discussed above, to request that the eviction be delayed (up to ten days), but any delay is at the court's discretion.
A section 21 notice has to give you at least 2 months. Some tenants have a right to a longer notice. For example, 3 months' notice if your rent is due every 3 months. Section 21 notices are sometimes called 'no fault' notices because your landlord does not need a reason for eviction.
You can stay in a New York City apartment for 90 days without paying rent before the landlord can initiate eviction proceedings against you. This does not mean that that the landlord will take no action prior to the 90-day mark; there are several steps leading up to the eviction notice.
If you do not leave your home by the date given in an outright possession order, your landlord can ask the court for a 'warrant of possession'. If the court gives a warrant, you'll be sent an eviction notice that gives a date when you must leave your home. Bailiffs can evict you after this date.
The eviction process in NYC can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the circumstances. After serving the initial notice, landlords must wait for the notice period to expire before filing with the court. Once in court, delays can occur due to adjournments or appeals.
If you have lived there for more than one year, but less than 2, or have a lease term of at least one year, but less than 2, your landlord must provide you with 60 days' notice; If you have lived there for more than 2 years or have a lease term of at least 2 years, your landlord must provide you with 90 days' notice.
