The New York Affidavit In Support of An Order To Show Cause (Restore Possession) is a legal document filed by a landlord or tenant to initiate legal proceedings in a residential landlord-tenant dispute. The affidavit is used to request an order from the court to show cause why the tenant should not be evicted and why a landlord should not be allowed to regain possession of the property. The affidavit must include all pertinent information about the landlord-tenant case, including the nature of the dispute, the amount of rent owed, any damage to the property, and any other relevant details. The affidavit must be signed by both the landlord and the tenant. The affidavit must also include a sworn statement by the landlord or tenant that all assertions made in the affidavit are true and accurate. The New York Affidavit In Support of An Order To Show Cause (Restore Possession) has two types: 1. Non-Payment Proceeding: This is used when a tenant fails to pay rent and the landlord is seeking to regain possession of the property. 2. Holdover Proceeding: This is used when the landlord is seeking to regain possession of the property for some other reason, such as a violation of the lease agreement or damage to the property.
