There can be reasons why a landlord may decide not to return the security deposit. Some of those reasons include the tenant’s inability to pay all the required rent, when the tenant has not paid for all the utilities, or if the tenant damaged some of the facilities in the house beyond normal wear and tear.
Non-payment of rent is usually the most common problems that happen between tenants and landlords in Queens. Whereby a tenant doesn’t pay their rent, a landlord can give the tenant notice and wait for the tenant for a certain period of time to find a solution to the problem before they can file an eviction complaint with the Court. During this process, you will require the help of an landlord tenant lawyer in Queens NY.
If the tenant doesn’t find a solution to the issue complained about within the stipulated time, then an eviction complaint can be filed by the landlord in the appropriate jurisdiction Court. If the notice was served in the right order, and the filed eviction complaint meets all the law requirements, the Queens County Civil Court may give the tenant an order to carry out under the agreement terms. Alternatively, the Court may give the tenant a certain date to move out.
If the tenant does not to carry out the order of the court or move out in the period of time given to them, the landlord can apply for an order from the Court enabling him/her to physically evict the tenant and his/her properties.
Tenant Defenses
Tenants have the right to live in a safe and comfortable property. They also have the right to ask the landlord to repair and maintain their facility. A landlord can’t forcefully make a tenant leave, enter a business or home without permission, shut down vital services, change locks, or destroy/remove property.
If the landlord refuses to repair or maintain the property, for which it is the major responsibility of the landlord, the tenant might withhold the rent of the landlord in an escrow account. Or the tenant can take care of the maintenance and deduct the cost from the rent. But while doing so, the tenant need to inform the landlord by writing.
In situations like this, you can’t appear in Queens Civil Court without an housing court lawyer, so you need the help of an landlord tenant lawyer in Queens NY. Both as a tenant or as a landlord, contact us for a landlord lawyer in Queens so they can help you in the best way possible.
