... signed. Our landlord is in default and the hosue will go into forclosure. He has not paid gas and electric for over a year. We''re getting noticces from ConEd and National Grid (NYC) that our utilities will be shut off in a relatively short time. ConEd said we needed a lease to put electric and gas to create a tenant corporation.
Under these conditions, what are our options? Wee would like to stay as long as possible and I''d like to eventually try and buy the house off of forclosure.
Thank you,

Update Your Profile
You need to contact a lawyer and get some information regarding your next steps. This is too complex and issue to cover over a website especially since much more information is needed to begin to assess your situation. As for the power, you can pay on your landlord's account and deduct it from your rent. A lawyer can help you get an account with coned, also help procure the property from foreclosure, it would be well worth it.
