QUESTION
Can I be evicted if my landlord wants to make me move before the date I pay them?
Asked on Nov 15th, 2011 on Landlord and Tenant Law - New York
More details to this question:
I'm going to pay my rent late this month so I called my complex business office to let them know that. I also paid an eviction hold fee so that they would not file an eviction, but on the day that I told them that I would be paying my rent, an emergency came up and so I haven't paid my rent yet. I told them that I would be paying it on the 14th, yesterday. Can they evict me before the 28th of the month?

They can evict you only after going to court (and you would get notice of the hearing date) to get a court order.

The answer to this really depends on the terms of your Lease, however, most standard leases would define your non-payment of rent as a breach of the lease, and your landlord is entitled to seek an eviction based upon your default.
