Eviction proceedings are among the most complex and heavily regulated areas of New York real estate law. Property owners must navigate strict legal procedures, multiple notice requirements, and tenant-friendly regulations that can make recovering possession of your property challenging. Whether you're dealing with non-payment of rent, lease violations, or holdover tenants, having experienced legal counsel is essential to protect your investment and ensure compliance with applicable housing laws.

Our skilled attorneys understand the intricacies of New York's landlord-tenant law and can guide you through each step of the process, ensuring your rights are protected while maintaining compliance with all legal requirements.
Common Grounds for Eviction Proceedings
New York law provides specific procedures that property owners must follow when seeking to recover possession of rental property. These procedures are strictly enforced, and any missteps can result in dismissal of your case or significant delays. Understanding your legal grounds and following proper procedures is crucial for successful eviction proceedings.
Landlords may pursue eviction for various reasons, including:
- Non-payment of rent.
- Lease violations.
- Failure to renew a lease.
- Damaging the property.
- Violations of HOA or community rules.
Having valid grounds is only the first step. Proper notice, documentation, and adherence to procedural requirements are equally important for successful proceedings.

Understanding New York's Eviction Requirements
New York law requires property owners to follow specific legal procedures when seeking to recover possession of rental property. Self-help measures — such as changing locks, removing tenant belongings, or shutting off utilities — are prohibited and can result in serious legal consequences for property owners.
Legal eviction proceedings must include:
- Proper written notice with required waiting periods.
- Filing of appropriate court papers.
- Service of legal documents according to court rules.
- Court hearings where both parties can present their case.
- Execution of any court-ordered eviction through proper legal channels.
Attempting to bypass these procedures can expose property owners to liability for illegal eviction claims, including potential monetary damages and court-ordered restoration of tenancy.
