Question I am planning to move into an apartment in Astoria, Queens in August. The landlord said it would be available after he kicked the current resident out. I sent him my security deposit. He now says he cannot just "throw the guy out."
I need to know what the landlord can legally do. The tenant is a liability, as he is a drinker who has on one occasion been out in the street with a knife rambling about people coming to get him. Things like that. According to the landlord, without a police report (which was never filed for that or any previous incident) he cannot legally evict him without taking him to court and "getting a lawyer, paying $250, and serving him an eviction notice." Which the landlord seems hesitant to do.
He did tell the tenant two months ago that he would need to get out and has given him time to find an apartment. The tenant claims he cannot find a place, so does not want to leave. There is no lease agreement, rent is paid on a month-by-month basis. What action can the landlord take?
Thanks for your help!
Answer It's very hard to evict anybody in NYC. Specially if they show hardship.
I know many owners who had to pay the tenants money to actually move out of their apartment.
The best thing would be taking the legal process as soon as possible to kick them out by court order, which takes about a month or two.
