QUESTION
If I don't pay the rent to the landlord, can I be evicted?
Asked on Apr 13th, 2012 on Landlord and Tenant Law - New York
More details to this question:
I reside in an illegal dwelling in the bronx (the landlord is not supposed to have tenants and is supposed to be residing there and he doesn't) that is being foreclosed on and the landlord told the bank he does not want to keep the house. The issue is the landlord still wants me to pay rent. If I don't pay the rent to the landlord can I be evicted? Do I have a leg to stand on?

You can still be evicted as long as he owns the property.

Of course you can be evicted if you don't pay rent.
