    Episode 43: Do I have to allow my landlord into my apartment to do repairs, even if I don’t want to? How much notice am I entitled to?

    In this episode we discuss whether and when you must allow your landlord into your apartment to do needed repairs. We also discuss how much notice you are entitled to and what kind of control you can assert over the repair process. Can you pick the contractor? Can you do the work yourself and then deduct from the rent? These and other questions are tackled in this episode.

In fact, I found a DHCR proceeding where a tenant was not allowed to challenge repairs that the landlord did on the basis that the contractor was unlicensed.

    Episode 41: The New No-Broker-Fee Law and Possible Bumps in the Road For its Roll Out

    In this episode we examine the Fairness in Apartment Rental Expenses Act, which prohibits real estate brokers from passing their fees onto residential tenants where the broker is exclusively representing the landlord’s interests. This would include brokers who publish listings with the landlord’s permission. Landlords and their agents are also required to disclose the fees that the tenant must pay in their listings and rental agreements. This law is new and changes things a lot. Whenever that is the case, the law can get off to a bumpy start. We look at what those bumps might be and what you can do to protect yourself.

    Episode 40: What do I do if my co-living landlord houses me with a roommate who is a serial killer?

    In this episode we look at a January 8, 2025 Business Insider article with the headline: “Man Sues Co-Living Company After Being Housed with a Serial Killer”. You simply cannot make this stuff up. In a 15-page lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, a tenant said that a co-living company breached its duty to him when the company placed him with a roommate it knew to be dangerous and unfit and ignored the fact that the roommate had already exhibited abnormal, alarming, and erratic behavior, the roommate had not paid rent in a year, and the roommate threatened the tenant. Nevertheless, the co-living company denied the tenant’s requests to be relocated after he raised concern about his safety. And then the roommate allegedly killed three sleeping homeless men and another person, over a four-day period. To add insult to injury, when the police busted through the apartment door to arrest the roommate-alleged-serial-killer, they arrested everyone in the apartment, including the complaining tenant, who was obviously later released. This episode is not merely going to be about a sensational roommate-from-hell story. The company in this LA story is based in New York City and operates here and has at least a dozen competitors doing co-living business here in New York City. Co-living has become more and more common as a natural response to the New York City housing shortage. We have so often seen situations where tenants in co-living situations feel compromised. Today’s episode is about what you, as a tenant in a co-living situation where you feel unsafe, can do to get your co-living landlord to be more responsive to your request to move you quickly to another apartment or to refund your money.

    In Episode 38 we discuss a recent eviction case that was dismissed when the tenant pointed out to the judge that the landlord lacked capacity to sue because of the defunct status of its limited liability company, which is easy for anyone to look up regarding their landlord.

    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. Links: • Tenant Law Podcast Website • Today’s Case • Suggest future topics at questions@tenantlearningplatform.com.
