Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York
Landlord Tenent Dispute
I rented an apartment in which the landlord completely neglected his duties. Because I never considered it permanent and because my future meant much more to me, I never pushed to have basic repairs done and he took advantage of it. Although we were close friends for a long time, in the summer of 2005, my bathroom needed repair and he refused to keep his appointed times to enter. Finally, I complained to town hall and the Department of Health inspector came to see it. In his own words, he said, ''This unit should be condemned.'' Another inspector came by after he did and said the same. My landlord turned off my electricity last summer, he began leaving nasty notes on my car, which I still keep, so I finally moved out. I complained to NYS Attorney General about the deposit, which I never got back, but I now realize that I was paying for basic services that he very much owed me and I should never have ignored it. I want to sue him for alot more than just my security deposit. I have all the notes, dates of the electricity turn-off, which is very illegal, and pictures of the entire apartment, so I haven't ignored my duty completely nor too far. Take the case and I'll win for US BOTH!!!
