Here in Brooklyn NY, in a private house with an apartment, the owner, LL, can do what ever he / she wants. If the building I believe is 6 families or more than it is stabilized if after 1970, or something to that effect, before that it is rent control.

But in a private house, the LL is under no city obligations to do this, or that...

Just make sure it is a legal apartment if it is in a private house, some are not, and then headaches begin.

There is not enough info in the OP to give any kind of advice. It's like, "If fish isn't on sale at Safeway, can I still get a deal?"

What?

Exactly.

How could anybody on this forum even hazard a guess as to whether or not your landlord is a "screwball"? You've given absolutely no details about anything, have merely thrown out what can be interpreted as hypothetical questions.

If you're "good in court" then why are you asking very basic questions here, the answers to which you could have found anyway in a few seconds by going to your state landlord tenant laws. If you feel you have a viable case to put a lien against your landlord's house and assets then go for it, but throwing out vague questions and comments accomplishes nothing and is a waste of respondents' time.
