Re: missed rent payments

You should start a nonpayment proceeding in landlord tenant court. If she fails to pay after receiving a notice of petition and petition, you may have her evicted.

Re: missed rent payments

Hiring an experienced attorney in the area that understands the NYS Landlord Tenant Law and how to negotiate with the local attorneys is vital. They will be able to assist you in reviewing your particular facts and starting a nonpayment proceeding in City court. If your tenant fails to pay after receiving a notice of petition and petition, you may have her evicted.
