FAQ

Can a landlord evict you for no reason? The short answer is no. Landlords have several guidelines to follow regarding evictions and will need to take tenants to housing court prior to giving them the boot. The most common reasons a landlord may move to evict fall into two categories: nonpayment and holdover.

To begin eviction proceedings, the landlord must file a petition with either the district court or housing court of the county in which the rental property is located. The court will assign a time and date for a hearing before a judge and will notify the tenant.

No. The landlord must go to court, must win the case, and then must pay a fee to have a law enforcement officer properly evict you.

How much does it cost to evict someone in legal fees? A real estate or eviction attorney can charge either a flat fee or by the hour, and what it costs to evict someone depends both on your attorney's experience and complexity of the case. The low-end average cost of eviction in legal fees is $500.

A notice of appearance indicates that defendant will appear on his or her own behalf. A corporation must appear through an attorney. See Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR) 321(a). A defendant must have plaintiff served with a copy of the notice of appearance (see attached).

You must give a 30-Day Notice The tenant must either a). The notice must be provided in writing (i.e. Notice to Quit). You must let the tenant know they can contest the eviction in housing court. You must make three "good faith" efforts to hand-deliver the notice.

The average is 3 months at least. If you have a slick professional tenant that knows the rent stabilization system (pro-tenant system by the way) then he or she will try to extend their stay by filing an "order to show cause" which the judge would usually grant.

To begin the eviction lawsuit for nonpayment of rent, the landlord must file a petition with the district court or housing court of the county in which the rental unit is located. The court will assign a date for a hearing before a judge, and the tenant will be notified of the proceedings.

If you have lived there less than one year, the landlord must provide at least 30 days' notice. If you have lived there more than one year, but less than two years, the landlord must provide at least 60 days' notice. If you have lived there more than two years, the landlord must provide at least 90 days' notice.

Demand for Notice of Completion and Acceptance - Individual

Note: This summary is not intended to be an all inclusive discussion of New York's construction or mechanic's lien laws, but does include basic provisions.

What is a construction or mechanic's lien?

Every State permits a person who supplies labor or materials for a construction project to claim a lien against the improved property. While some states differ in their definition of improvements and some states limit lien claims to buildings or structures, most permit the filing of a document with the local court that puts parties interested in the property on notice that the party asserting the lien has a claim. States differ widely in the method and time within which a party may act on their lien. Also varying widely are the requirements of written notices between property owners, contractors, subcontractors and laborers, and in some cases lending institutions. As a general rule, these statutes serve to prevent unpleasant surprises by compelling parties who wish to assert their legal rights to put all parties who might be interested in the property on notice of a claim or the possibility of a claim. This by no means constitutes a complete discussion of construction lien law and should not be interpreted as such. Parties seeking to know more about construction laws in their State should always consult their State statutes directly.

Who can file a lien in this State?

New York law permits "A contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman, landscape gardener, nurseryman or person or corporation selling fruit or ornamental trees, roses, shrubbery, vines and small fruits, who performs labor or furnishes materials for the improvement of real property with the consent or at the request of the owner thereof, or of his agent, contractor or subcontractor, and any trust fund to which benefits and wage supplements are due or payable for the benefit of such laborers, to have a lien for the principal and interest, of the value, or the agreed price, of such labor, including benefits and wage supplements due or payable for the benefit of any laborer, or materials upon the real property improved or to be improved and upon such improvement, from the time of filing a notice of such lien..." N.Y. Lien Law Â§3.

How long does a party have to file a lien?

A notice of lien may be filed at anytime during the progress of the work and the furnishing of the materials, or, within eight months after the completion of the contract, or the final performance of the work, or the final furnishing of the materials, dating from the last item of work performed or materials furnished; provided, however, that where the improvement is related to real property improved or to be improved with a single family dwelling, the notice of lien may be filed at any time during the progress of the work and the furnishing of the materials, or, within four months after the completion of the contract, or the final performance of the work, or the final furnishing of the materials, dating from the last item of work performed or materials furnished. N.Y. Lien Law Â§10.

What kind of notice is required prior to filing a lien?

"Within five days before or thirty days after filing the notice of lien, the lienor shall serve a copy of such notice upon the owner, if a natural person, (a) by delivering the same to him personally, or if the owner cannot be found, to his agent or attorney, or (b) by leaving it at his last known place of residence in the city or town in which the real property or some part thereof is situated, with a person of suitable age and discretion, or (c) by registered or certified mail addressed to his last known place of residence, or (d) if such owner has no such residence in such city or town, or cannot be found, and he has no agent or attorney, by affixing a copy thereof conspicuously on such property, between the hours of nine o'clock in the forenoon and four o'clock in the afternoon; if the owner be a corporation, said service shall be made (i) by delivering such copy to and leaving the same with the president, vice-president, secretary or clerk to the corporation, the cashier, treasurer or a director or managing agent thereof, personally, within the state, or (ii) if such officer cannot be found within the state by affixing a copy thereof conspicuously on such property between the hours of nine o'clock in the forenoon and four o'clock in the afternoon, or (iii) by registered or certified mail addressed to its last known place of business. Failure to file proof of such a service with the county clerk within thirty-five days after the notice of lien is filed shall terminate the notice as a lien." N.Y. Lien Law Â§10.

How long is a lien good for?

"Any lien created under New York law shall be a lien for a period longer than one year after the notice of lien has been filed, unless within that time an action is commenced to foreclose the lien, ..." or the appropriate steps are taken to request that the court grant an extension. N.Y. Lien Law Â§17.

Are liens assignable?

Yes. New York statutes provide for the assignment of valid liens. The assignment must be in writing and acknowledged by the lien holder. N.Y. Lien Law Â§13.

Does this State require or provide for a notice from subcontractors and laborers to property owners?

Yes. A contractor working on a public improvement may issue a written demand that a state agency provide a notice of completion and acceptance. Also, a subcontractor or other party who furnishes labor and or materials for the improvement of property may issue a demand to the owner or contractor demanding that the owner or contractor provide a statement of the terms of the contract between the owner and the contractor.

Does this State require or provide for a notice from the property owner to the contractor, subcontractor, or laborers?

Yes. Under New York law a property owner whose property has been the subject of a notice of lien may demand in writing that the lien claimant provide an itemized statement of the labor and/or materials provided and their value.

Does this State require a notice prior to starting work, or after work has been completed?

No. New York statutes do not require a Notice of Commencement or a Notice of Completion as required in some other States.

Does this State permit a person with an interest in property to deny responsibility for improvements?

No. New York statutes do not have a provision which permits the denial of responsibility for improvements.

Is a notice attesting to the satisfaction of a lien provided for or required?

No. New York statutes do not provide for or require that a lien holder who has been paid produce or file a notice to that effect.

By what method does the law of this State permit the release of a lien?

A lien claimed under New York law may be discharged by the issuing of a certificate by the lien holder, filed in the court where the lien notice was filed, acknowledging the satisfaction and release of said lien. Otherwise, the lien will dissolve automatically within one year of filing if no legal action is taken to foreclose on said lien.

Does this State permit the use of a bond to release a lien?

Yes. New York law permits a party with an interest in the property in question to file a bond in the amount unpaid under the contract.
