Housing Court Decisions |
The best way to learn complex issues of landlord/tenant law is to read cases.
Let it sink in. You may have to consult Kafka, but eventually it may make sense. Although the full text of Housing Court cases are beyond our resources, NYC tenant attorneys have provided the reader with the important factual and legal issues of selected cases. Note: the cases below are maintained for archival purposes. The law firm that had previously provided the summaries abandoned this project in 2006. We regret the inconvenience.

About TenantNet Housing Court Decisions New York City landlord-tenant disputes generally fall into three categories:
Understanding the legal system anywhere is a tough job, but in New York it is especially complex. Many, but not all, cases are reported in the New York Law Journal, a weekday publication usually available in law offices and public libraries. Many other decisions go unreported and TenantNet invites readers to make submissions. Upon inquiry we will supply a fax number. Certain Laws are brought up constantly in landlord/tenant cases. We can't mention every statute, but many are available online at TenantNet:
All summaries, decisions and/or other information is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice or as creating a lawyer-client relationship with anyone. Also see the TenantNet general disclaimer. Although tenants have a right to represent themselves in court pro se, it is always advisable to consult with an attorney. Tenant attorney Colleen McGuire edited Housing Court Decisions from 1996-2002. From 2002-2007, Housing Court Decisions was edited by Daphna Zekaria, Esq.
