The laws in NY are on the tenants side! This poor guy has gone through his life savings and his tenants are still living there and Not paying rent. It’s been over 3 years. The landlord (owner) has lost his life savings. The tenants have swatters rights in NY. What can he do ? Does anyone know of a kick ass Long Island lawyer who deals with this?? It’s not fair !
I'll be moving out of here with my family and ludicrous NY tenant laws are why we likely won't risk renting our house. I'd much rather rent my property to tenants than sell, theoretically.
Too bad theoretically doesn't matter with the communists who run this state.
Point blank, get a bad tenant and you're fooked. And for argument's sake, say you do go thru all the legal steps and costs and many months later boot the bums from your property. Imagine how the inside will look upon inspection. A complete train wreck. Tens of thousands in damage.
This is what happens when communists cater to bums.
I'd contact someone in Blakeman's office or some other useless county executive. March into their damn office. This is the garbage they are supposed to help tax payers with.

County executive and local officials can't circumvent landlord-tenant laws. When I worked in code enforcement, we dealt with a lot of landlord-tenant disputes, often being called because of some perceived slight or complaint about building condition from the tenant, or landlord complaining about squatters.
Unless the dwelling is uninhabitable, local officials can't remove anyone, and even in those cases it would be an emergency evacuation, not an eviction. It still doesn't remove the right to occupy that structure or portion thereof once the condition is corrected (such as removal of utilities). I would caution the owner against pulling anything like that- it only serves to harm them and doesn't speed up the eviction. One reason to ensure all utilities are in the tenant's name... owners who supply utilities are required to maintain them. I've even had owners turn themselves in for their own illegal apartments, figuring it would speed the process along; it doesn't... it only led to charges against the owner and doesn't do anything to help the eviction process. It may actually help the tenant's case if they can show that an owner knowingly rented them an illegal space.
Being a landlord anywhere is hard. Being demonized by working poor sucks.
