It's also BS that the landlord is pulling the crap that they are pulling too though. If the landlord won't play fair then why should the tenant have to suffer for it? They definitely would keep your deposit if you leave after 30 days.

Landlord is following state/city laws, tenant is not. How exactly is the landlord not "playing fair"?

Really??? I've had tenants evicted in as little as 3 weeks in NYC.

I am guessing this isn't a rent stabilized apartment, then the LL couldn't pull these BS stunts [and I doubt he is really selling the building]

I wish Pammie would give us some germane details, primarily IS THERE A LEASE?
Is the apartment rent stabilized?

No point in trying to answer questions without information.

Right. Be sure to bring lots of money to fund your case.

If the LL wins the case, you past the legal cost to the tenant. Its actually a straight forward case. If the lease says you cannot use security deposit funds as rent and you do it anyway because you ASSUME the LL is going to keep your security deposit, the tenant would be in violation of the contract agreement which gives grounds to sue the tenant.

The tenant cannot ASSUME the LL would not give the security deposit back. In the event the LL doesn't, the tenant can sue the LL but to jump the gun and ASSUME he isn't and thus take it upon yourself to use the security deposit as rent, is a total disregard of the contract agreement.

OP if you take this advice to squat and refuse to leave, know that after you go through L and T court you will not be known as a model tenant anymore. Any potential landlord who does his due diligence will peg you as a free loader and not rent to you.
