    Episode 36: How can you stop your eviction after losing your Housing Court case?

    In Episode 36 we discuss a fairly new case interpreting Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law §749(3), which was changed by the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act, which codifies a tenant’s Right of Redemption – the right of the tenant to pay the “full rent due” at any point before the eviction is carried out and stop the eviction and vacate the warrant. But how much is the “full rent due”? Is it the amount in the money judgment against the tenant? Is it the amount due weeks or months later when the warrant of eviction is issued from the Clerk’s Office? Or is the amount due right up until the time that the eviction is scheduled? This new case gives us an answer.

    Episode 34: What happens if NYC issues a Vacate Order against your apartment?

    In Episode 34 we discuss what happens if a New York City agency issues a Vacate Order against your apartment. We tackle the following questions. Does the landlord have to restore the apartment? How will you know what is going on with the apartment? How can you make the landlord fix the apartment and remove the Vacate Order more quickly? How can you make sure the landlord does not fix the apartment and rent it to somebody else? What if you want to break the lease because of the Vacate Order?

    Episode 33: How to Challenge Your Rent Arrears Statement

    In Episode 33 we discuss two Housing Court cases that were dismissed because the Rent Demands served upon the tenants as predicates to those cases were confusing. If your Rent Demand is gobbledygook, you may be able to get the current case against you dismissed. In general, whether there is a court case against you or not, if your landlord says you owe arrears, she must be able to explain to you exactly what charges are outstanding.

    Episode 30: Proving How Long Your Apartment Has Needed Repairs, So You Can Get a Rent Abatement and/or Proper Repairs

    In Episode 30 we discuss a case where the tenant lost a lot of relevant text messages about conditions in their apartment, because they changed phones and lost text messages. Not only did they not have that evidence to help them, but a court punished them for not producing those items during discovery in the lawsuit. We talk about how to avoid these problems. And we suggest how to use evidence spoilation rules to your benefit, to show how long you have been forced to wait for much needed repairs, so that you can get proper repairs and/or a rent abatement.
