Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Re: holdover

As NYS has very specific Notice provisions, especially, with regard to holdovers, it is highly advisable to retain an experienced attorney to assist you. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.

I recommend consulting with an attorney on the facts of your case to determine if this tenant's actions amount to a level of nuisance high enough to warrant an eviction or if this is the best cause of action to proceed with.
