Luckily he agreed move out without putting up much of a fight.

I tried to fight the proposed bill, but it got passed.

If anything, I'm underpaid for as much work as I have to put into these, not to mention the divorces and probates where I'm waiting months for spouses and heirs to fight it out.

It looks like they launched a pilot program in 2019 but costing homeowners up to $1M to do the conversion.https://citylimits.org/2023/03/13/in-new-yorks-fight-to-legalize-basement-apartments-what-about-cellars/I don't want to end up selling the place because it is good cash flow and would be even better once I renovate all the apartments.Thank you.

@Eric Irvine - I am ok on lending, thank you. 

Do the tenants have any grounds to fight me on kicking them out? 

My attorney advised settling it is cheaper than fighting it in court.

I don't even have a security deposit and the card they have on file is not even active anymore so I assume all the 3rd party company could do is take me to collections which I would fight since these charges seem extreme to me.

While most insurance companies would settle most of these for $15k-$20k in the past, we've seen them fighting them a lot more lately.
