And I don'tget the impression the OP has any of the issues outlined for disability. Again, make a deal, even if it costs you a bit.

None of these off the wall suggestions are going to help OP; she or he does not have enough time for one.


OP shot her or his self in foot by giving LL too much information. Now they know why she/he wants to move and have no real compunction to be nice about things.

OP, get the landlord to evict you , because of noise. He will need to go to court, pay fees, to get you out. If the LL does not want to deal with housing court, LL will agree and break the lease. So get some loud and bass filled reggae and mexican music, and let it rain. Keep the TV on full blast, cook garlic and onions all day, and burn the beans.

After enough complaints, LL would be begging you to leave. make sure you pay the rent!

That's inconsiderate towards the neighbors. They don't deserve that shet. Seriously, grow up.

My current place is rent stabilized, so I have to follow the rules of rent stabilized apartments in NYC, which is that once I find a subletter, I submit to management and they have 30 days to approve/deny. I think I shot myself in the foot because I mentioned to management via e-mail I won the lottery, so they know this will no longer be my primary residence, thus they can deny my sublet request (according to the research I've done).

I can request to "assign" my lease to someone with approval to management, they have 30 days to approve/deny the request, which seems like the better option.

Based on it being October 24th and my place has been on the market for 5-6 days, I am getting nervous about the 30 day approval process (since I haven't found anyone yet).

Anyone else dealt with winning the NYC housing lottery and being stuck in your current lease? Are there any options at all, will the lottery let you defer for a bit longer or anything?

Anyone need a place in Sunset Park!?
I won the affordable apartment last year. Broke my lease with the former landlord Legally by submitting to the management 30 days nottice letter of vacating the apartment and copy of my affordable rent lease new apartment on 2 pages. DONE.

I'm lucky. My landlord would love nothing more than for me to leave--he'll gut the place and quadruple the rent, but I need a place to go...

Unless your previous apartment was RS it has no bearing on OP's situation. In fact even if it was that only says said LL was willing to allow early termination of lease, nothing more. All RS leases are standard boilerplate forms; you can get them from Blumberg at any legal store or wherever such forms are sold. Thus all clauses and so forth are standard across the city.


Legally by the way is not a proper noun.

Well there is your answer then.


Rent regulation is a two edged sword. On the one hand it can be good (some may say too good) for tenants. OTOH it locks both parties into boilerplate leases that can only be terminated by a handful of reasons.


In some parts of NYC even market rate leases are becoming difficult to break; the slowing market for rentals above a certain amount and or in areas is likely to blame. That and a LL was fortunate to get someone first or second time; but by subsequent rentals prospective tenants are being picky,


It does not help that for market rate units Brooklyn is overflowing, and more is coming on line or will for the next few years at least.

Thanks everyone for your messages. I wanted to update that a gentleman reached out to me last night via craigslist, and I have been debating it with my brother who is a lawyer (in DC - labor law - not familiar with NYC tenant laws) and we decided to request approval to assign the lease to this gentleman via e-mail to management.

It's such a crazy process because we all know NYC housing moves FAST - 30 days for management to approve/deny a request is a long time, and I am hoping that they don't actually take 30 days to approve/deny, and that I can ask housing lotto apartment to hold off on signing lease a bit longer.

Anyone have experience with that? They told me I can move in Nov 14, up to Dec 14 - I was supposed to sign lease this week but asked to push to end of next week, but I still might not have an answer on current place until much longer.

I could definitely be overthinking everything, but with all of these moving pieces, I cannot rely on hoping that everything will turn out in my favor and have to make sure to be smart about this with both buildings so that I don't get called a scrub again by a troll.
