Landlord-tenant law covers the legal relationship between people who rent property and the owners who lease it. Common issues include lease terms, security deposits, rent increases, repairs and habitability, and disputes over unpaid rent. It also includes eviction proceedings, lease renewals, and questions about subletting or roommates. In New York, these matters can involve both residential and commercial properties, and the rules that apply may depend on the type of building, the location, and the terms of the lease.
Organizations in this directory that list landlord-tenant work include private law firms, solo practices, legal services nonprofits, and tenant advocacy groups. Some represent property owners, others represent renters, and some work with both sides in different matters. When choosing counsel, ask about their experience with situations similar to yours, such as the type of property or the kind of dispute. You can also confirm that an attorney is registered and in good standing through the New York Attorney Search before you hire anyone.
