I'm in a difficult situation in New York and trying to figure out my next steps.
eviction notice for no reason. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have been renting for 2 years. My monthly rent is $1,876. I have a written lease.
Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?
I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.
Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the implied warranty of habitability. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct uninhabitable.
One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.
I've dealt with this before.
What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
