New York law makes it difficult for landlords to evict tenants, even when tenants fail to pay. New York has a special process called a summary proceeding to handle evictions. A summary proceeding is intended to be quick, but technical mistakes with a landlord’s notice to pay, petition filing, or service of process can derail a proceeding. Our Nassau lawyers know the process inside and out, and can avoid the technical pitfalls that can lead to dismissal.
