Landlord & Tenant
I&H does not have a volume landlord and tenant practice. In other words, we do not have hundreds of cases going at once; we do not spend all day running around landlord and tenant court writing carbon paper stipulations. We are the place people come when they have a serious landlord and tenant problem and need results. |
The majority of our landlord and tenant practice is commercial, involving high rents and high stakes. A consistent portion of our practice involves residential landlord and tenant matters, including rent control and rent stabilization cases, high rent residential cases, Division of Housing and Community Renewal matters, and Loft Law matters. In addition, there is a Bankruptcy Court aspect to our landlord and tenant practice, inasmuch as we routinely apply to lift automatic stays commercial tenants obtain.
I&H approaches landlord and tenant cases as hard-core litigation, from inception through trial. We also do many landlord and tenant appeals. See our Accomplishments of Interest Section to read decisions from many of our victories in the landlord and tenant area.
