FAQ

Even if the judge signs a Warrant of Eviction, you may still be able to stop the eviction. If you are being evicted for ?Nonpayment of Rent,? you can stop the eviction by paying all of the rent that is owed. You can do this any time up until the Warrant of Eviction is executed.

Overview. In New York State, an eviction of a tenant is lawful only if an owner has brought a court proceeding and obtained a judgment of possession from the court. A sheriff, marshal or constable can carry out a court ordered eviction. An owner may not evict a tenant by use of force or unlawful means.

It takes about 14 to 90 days from the issuance of the Notice to Vacate, depending on the reason for eviction and the lease agreement.

Most New York City evictions will take around 3 to 6 months. However, the reason for the eviction can impact the timing. If the tenant has violated the lease, you can evict them in less than 3 months. Evicting a holdover tenant can take a lot longer, especially if they claim you didn't properly serve them notice.

If you are rent-controlled or rent-stabilized, you may file a complaint with NYS Homes & Community Renewal (NYSHCR) at .hcr.ny.gov. If your complaint is found to be valid, the landlord will be ordered to correct it. Application forms are available at my community office or your local HCR office.

If the court stays the eviction, you must pay money to continue living there in the amount you paid as rent. In a nonpayment case, if you pay the full amount of the rent due to the court before the Marshal does the eviction, the Court must cancel the warrant of eviction.

An eviction stays on a person's record for three years if the landlord wins the case. If a tenant wins the case, or a judge dismisses the eviction, or the landlord withdraws the case because of an agreement ? the eviction still stays on your record for a year and doesn't show you're not at fault.
