how to evict a tenant in New York in two months - Legally

[Anthony Vespa]

We have just went into contract on our triplex in Brooklyn. My other two tenant moved out without any issues, my third tenant is claiming he cannot get a lease because he is retired. Now for me i would prefer a retired tenant that has a pension and S.S. check coming in every month. Anyway we have already filed an eviction which can take six months. i am thinking of a different approach. i would like to draft an offer letter with three options. move out in four weeks $$$$, move out in six weeks $$$ or move out in 8 weeks $$. the Four week offer is very close to six months rent. Any professional advice will be appreciated.

Oh I did not realize you were selling rather than buying. Gotcha.

Ya - no special exceptions for sale of property. I hope the tenant is past due on rent, and by a lot. Court reps from the big NPOs will jump in to pay the past-due balance if its in the 5k range or less.

Best option likely is the buyout - you just have to do it right. Your attorney should be able to give you a more precise course of action re: this specific tenant. Good luck!
