Roomate/sublease not paying in NYC

[Kedian Jimenez]

Hye there guys,

I'm going through a pain period where apparently one of the sub-tenants isnt paying.

 i am subleasing my old apartment to two people (Bedroom and living room and started out as a roomate situation) . The one with the bedroom has effectively stop paying for a month (weekly cycle and stopped while I was away for some while) and just recently started paying daily (but im sure he'll miss more pay moving forward). I didnt want to go to court as this started out as an AirBnB situation and then into direct and I havent notified landlord. But is the situation different with a roomate/sublease and how long will the process to evict (if it gets there) take to take them out. I want to leave the one tenant in the living room (or give them the room) since they are a friend and have no problem staying current with rent. If you guys have any advice or steps to take I'd really appreciate it.
