How long does a NYC landlord have to ask for back rent before eviction?

Question by Jess T: How long does a NYC landlord have to ask for back rent before eviction?
I have a friend of mine going through an dilly of a perdicament. She has been living in a rent stabilized unit for 10 years on the Upper West Side. Recently she received an eviction notice saying that she owed back rent from 1999.

They asked her to furnish proof of payment but could not (who keeps receipts that long?) So does anyone know anything about tenent law and if this is even legal? The total of monies they claim she owes is 00 – a pitance I know, but still – can they evel legally evict her for that?

Best answer:

Answer by bostonianinmo
She should consult with an attorney, or speak to the tenants’ rights folks at City Hall.

A debt that old may be uncollectible. Additionally, time is of the essense in eviction cases for non-payment of rent so something that old is not likely to be enforceable even if it is valid and collectible.

Most likely the landlord is trying to kick her out so that he can raise the rent. Such tactics are illegal in NYC though some sleazy landlords will still try.

Q&A: How long does it take a bank to approve a bid on a short sale of a pre-foreclosed house?

Question by twucaraut: How long does it take a bank to approve a bid on a short sale of a pre-foreclosed house?
I put a bid down for a short sale, pre-foreclosed house 3 weeks ago and haven’t heard a response from the seller’s bank yet. The seller’s relator doesn’t have any answers for me. He does tell me that there was one other offer placed 2 1/2 months ago, but hasn’t heard whether the bank accepts that offer!!!! My offer was slightly more than their asking price, so I know it was reasonable. Please give me some advise regarding how long I should wait to hear if they accepted my bid. Does it usually take this long? Anyone have any experience buying a short sale house?

Question by stephanieb: Ch. 7. Motion to lift stay(mortgage) In Arrears..How long do we have?
I am three months behind.. Filed chapter 7 two weeks ago. I have gotten 1 letter when i was 2 months behind giving me 30 days to pay or the foreclosure process would begin.( According to that it would have started on march 9th) I don’t mind leaving. I feel grateful that we were allowed to stay as long as we have…but…when will we be out? What’s the time line? What’s the process the lender needs to go through?

Best answer:

Answer by rpg
This completely depends on your state laws regarding foreclosure.

In some states foreclosures can happen pretty swiftly, i.e., within weeks. In other states it can take 6 months or more.

In general, if you live in a “judicial foreclosure” state it will take longer; in a non-judicial foreclosure state the process is generally considerably more brief.

Your bankruptcy attorney will be familiar with this. Give his or her office a call and ask.

Will a Chapter 7 Take a Long Time to Help Me?

Will a Chapter 7 Take a Long Time to Help Me?

A Chapter 7 can eliminate your debt in as little as 90 days. That means you could have the credit card debt, wage garnishment, and repossession help you’ve been praying for in a matter of months. Doesn’t seem too long compared to the time you’ve spent under the immense weight of debt, huh?

Your time line is really filled up with the time that you’ve spent being in debt. Debt can truly creep up on you. It starts when you miss a payment or can’t pay the full balance on your card. Soon collection agencies are calling you incessantly. Soon, they are garnishing your wages and threatening to go after your other property. The hardest decision from there is figuring out the right time to ask for help. There is finally a light at the end of the tunnel as soon as you schedule your free consultation.

Once you’ve met with a bankruptcy lawyer and decided to get help, you start to see the benefits of a Chapter 7 immediately. Though the discharge may take some time, your creditors are forced to stop calling once you’ve filed your case. You may also see a garnishment on your pay check disappear and the threat of repossession and foreclosure subside. Now, your money and property is yours again. You can come home from work with the knowledge that you can put food on the table, protect your family from creditors, and live without the burden of debt.

You’ll have your fresh start in just a few months.

Doesn’t 90 days seem like nothing compared to how long you’ve been crushed by overwhelming amounts of debt. As soon as you decide to file bankruptcy and get rid of your debt, the Chapter 7 bankruptcy time line starts to pick up the pace. You may have to wait for your final fresh start, but you will start seeing the benefits of your bankruptcy filing immediately.

If you are looking into filing Chapter 7 with an experienced St. Louis bankruptcy attorney, the only question is “What’s stopping your from making your move?” As I always say, doing nothing changes nothing. If you want to start reaping the benefits, you must begin by taking that next step and calling a bankruptcy attorney.

If you aren’t yet ready to take the plunge, gather free materials from reputable attorneys around the area to educate yourself on the process. While filing bankruptcy may not be the perfect choice for you, you will never know until you learn what it has to offer.
