I'm down state in New York, and if I filed right now, I'd be looking at getting an actual court date maybe sometime in the summer, and that's assuming the eviction ban doesn't get extended again. 

If it is a reputable insurance company, it can be a good deal.They understand they need to find a suitable place and a short term lease, so are willing to pay a premium.If they want less than a 1yr lease, add a premium for say a 6 month lease which automatically extends into a month to month lease with an additional premium.Most times the negotiation is done by a 3rd party on behalf of the insurance company and lest assure you are not the only landloard they are speaking to.

When I book for my extended family, we have 9, and sometimes 10 people.

I'm sure each state has different laws but with the extended moratorium on evictions as well as foreclosures, this seems like a bad option to acquire an auctioned property.

Hi everybody,I have a question about extending a house lease.

I've been assuming I know all the information there is at this time in regards to evictions in NY but as time passes and the moratorium keeps getting extended I'd like to start seeking more advice on the matter. 

And that's assuming it doesn't get extended again. 

Unless they extended that in the recent relief bill that window as already closed. 

The alternative would be to extend the contract closing date until the VA has a SWD approved to close (but there is no timeframe for that).

If that is a piece of land or land with a structure to rehab.. using leverage and getting a loan is a good idea to help you extend the power of your money, and also build more credibility with your lender for larger loans and better terms in the future, all while increasing your credit score for more loans down the road.The only downside is if you want to take out another loan while you are still inbthe 6-12 months of rehab on that property, otherwise, you are building credibility with your lender and all the points mentioned above.. which are all positive.
