LRAP (Landlord Rental Assistance Program) is there to help all of us NYS Landlords where the Tenant has refused to cooperate https://rfr.bz/f3cshfm
So many Bronx Landlords have terrible tenants who could not be bothered to sign a piece of paper stating that they have not paid the rent for a year or more when it is the truth
As a consequence, perhaps thousands of good Landlords have been out of luck.
Now Landlord’s simply show proof in writing 3 times they asked the tenant to cooperate and then they are in!
Create a letter to the tenant stating please cooperate with the ERAP
Make copies, mail it certified mail to tenant. Do it 3 times
That’s it!!
Here is the link to the site

Are you aware of ERAP - the emergency rent assistance program. Listen to the video, let me know what you think or if I can help

If you're a landlord, I bet you wish you could be having a vacation because your tenants are taking vacations, having a good time getting money from the government and not paying you. Happening to man

Today, I'm talking to you about a serious problem.
If you're an owner of a property,
you may have come to me or another lawyer in 2019 because you bought the property and the prior owners haven't moved and you want to get them out.

Or maybe someone is a squatter, never paid you any rent.
Or maybe the tenant had taken in a roommate and the tenant moved out and the roommate doesn't want to leave.

These are all situations under the real property actions and proceedings law section 713
that say there is no landlord tenant relationship.
A 10 day notice can be served because you've never taken any rent and you can start a court case to get them out.

The problem is New York State and the legislature and the governor and the judiciary.
It's amazing when you have all three branches of government hardly working for you.
Nothing gets done.
That's where I come in.
I started an action for you back in 2019
to get that squatter out, not a tenant, and we filed your holdover case.
But nothing happened.
We served covid notices as required by the court.
Still no answer from anybody.

So what's supposed to happen in New York City?
You can't win by default.
You have to file what's called a motion for an Inquest.
Well, in the past two weeks, I filed 12 motions for Inquest and they've all been rejected by the court.
And when I contacted the chief judge,
I hear, well, you know, we're working on a plan.

Well, you know what, a human being can survive only about three minutes without oxygen.
And if you're the owner of a building and you can't move into your house because you're paying two mortgages, you're drowning, you're suffocating, and someone has to hear you.

I hear you.
So what I want you to do is if you fit
that description, I want you to call the number at the bottom of the screen, 718-994-1640

I'm going to be filing what are called Article 78 cases in Supreme Court and whatever court's necessary to force the housing court to accept papers and to hear cases.
Because if you own a property and you can't get into your property, you're entitled to be heard.
It's not that hard, is it?
Yet the judiciary, the governor and the legislature don't get it, all they want to talk about is cancel rent, cancel.

This isn't about rent.
These people aren't even tenants.

So please call 718-994-1640
And let's get you before the court.

God bless.

My rant on the Bronx Landlord Tenant law called Tenant Protection Act

Are you aware that Surrogates Court is open and we can help

02/07/2021

When a person had written a Last Will and Testament during their lifetime, the process of having that Will admitted in Surrogate's Court is called a Probate proceeding. However, if the person never had written a Last Will and Testament that Court process is called an Administration proceeding.
If the person lived in New York and also owned real estate in another state, it is necessary to file a proceeding in New York State first. Then, after the Executor or Administrator has been appointed, a separate proceeding will be fi;ed in the jurisdiction wherein that other real property was located. That proceeding is called an ancillary proceeding

For instance, Mrs. Jones resided in Bronx County and owned a house here in the Bronx at the time of her death. However she also owned land in Georgia that contained a farm. Mrs. Jones had written a Last Will and Testament that gave the Bronx property to one son and the farmland to another son. The Will shall be filed in Bronx County and a proceeding to Probate that Will shall be commenced. After the Will has been admitted to Probate a certified copy of the court file, including the Will, shall be filed in the Surrogate Court located in the same county as the farmland. That proceeding is the Ancillary proceeding.
