What to Do When a Tenant Stops Paying Rent
Few challenges are more stressful for landlords than dealing with tenants who stop paying rent. While it’s natural to want a quick resolution, New York law requires specific steps before eviction or recovery can begin. Proper legal guidance ensures that those steps are followed correctly — and that your rights are protected along the way.
A landlord-tenant attorney can help serve proper notices, file a nonpayment petition, and represent you in Housing Court if necessary. Legal representation also ensures compliance with rent regulations and prevents procedural mistakes that could delay your case.
