One of the most T friendly states in union.

You know who wasn't friendly? The gooks I fought over in Vietnam! If I could live through that hell, no yuppies from upstate New York are going to make me do something I don't want to do with my own property.

Thank you Jack, you just made yourself a little more credible. Other than California, New York is one of the most Pro Tenant States. Wouldn't life be great if we could just do as we pleased and managed in our own way. Just imagine, this is my property, my money bought it, I pay my taxes, my name is on the deed, so eat it!.....Well, the reality is, that there are State and Local Laws that dictate to the landlord how we do business. Don't like rules and laws? Get out of the Investment Property Business.

Except where the law provides otherwise, a landlord may rent on such terms and conditions as are agreed to by the parties. If the court finds a lease or any lease clause to have been unconscionable at the time it was made, the court may refuse to enforce the lease or the clause in question. (Real Property Law § 235-c) To evict a tenant, a landlord must sue in court and win the case. Only a sheriff, marshal or constable can carry out a court ordered warrant to evict a tenant. (RPAPL §749) A landlord may not take the law into his/her own hands and evict a tenant by use of force or unlawful means. For example, a landlord cannot use threats of violence, remove a tenant's possessions, lock the tenant out of the apartment, or willfully discontinue essential services such as water or heat. (Real Property Law §235) A tenant who is put out of his/her apartment in a forcible or unlawful manner is entitled to recover triple damages in a legal action against the wrongdoer. Landlords in New York City who use illegal methods to force a tenant to move are also subject to both criminal and civil penalties. Further, the tenant is entitled to be restored to occupancy. (RPAPL §713, §853)

I'll just tell them they have to move out if they don't want to abide by the lease they signed. That's what's wrong with this generation! They don't keep their word! I don't need them anyways.
