Hi,

Hope all is well. I have a tenant with 3 kids in a unit who at the beginning of covid faced financial hardship when her husband was held in prison. He is still there as of right now. For the last 12-15 month I have only received half of the rent payments to help them out through this crisis. The current past due balance is almost 15k. The wife is currently working with charities/governement programs to help them with the rent but there is no update yet.

As of right now, the husband still has not been released from prison. 

I am not sure what to do. Do I continue to help them and put myself at risk or do I ask them to leave. It's funny because I'm trying to help them but yet I always have to call them for status updates. I don't want to continue this. 

If I ask them to leave, how do I go about this? How would I get back the currently owed amount? eviction or small claims court?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jimmy

Hi,

I rent out a garage in New york city. Tenant has stopped making payments for over 6 months, have not been answering calls and is no where to be found. I have tried to mail him legal forms but the address he listed on the lease was incorrect. His license plates on the car says it is registered in Virginia. I am thinking of calling the cops about an abandoned vehicle.

Any one have experience with this? Any tips on what I can do? Would really appreciate some help. Thanks!

Thanks,

Thank you for the detailed response. wow up to a year eviction. How do landlords even survive with this time line. 

This is my first time dealing with evictions. I am based out in college point. Do you know where I could find a good lawyer?

My attorney has stated to give them a 3 day rent demand followed by a 14 day rent demand and filed for eviction from the court although it wont be processed until after August. They say the backlog may take over 6 months. I might not have enough funds to do weather the storm for that long. I was wondering if there was a better way to handle this situation. 

Hi,

New landlord here and I am in New York City. I have a tenant who has stopped paying rent all together since June 2020. Since his lease ends in July 31, 2020, I issued him with a non-renewal lease letter. He just called me and said he isn't going to move out because of corona virus.

Should I wait until august 1 to evict him for staying past his lease or start the eviction process now for non payment of his rent by giving him the 3 day rent demand.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,

Jimmy
