My mother is an 81 year old senior citizen who lives off the income from her 2 family home in Queens, NY. She gave a one year lease (April 15 - April 15) to a woman who has decided not to pay the rent. The tenant owes about $11,000 so far in back rent. Mom hired an attorney for an eviction for about $1200. Still no resolution because the courts are back loged with these kinds of cases. The tenant knows the laws in NY and will continue to live for free off the expense of an elderly person. She will continue this lifestyle and subject her innocent 12 year old daugher to this kind of con behavior.
From further research we have found that she did the same thing to her last landlord. There are no laws to protect seniors from tenants who conitnue to go from apartment to apartment conning the landlords. She gets all the heat and servies all for free. Unfair? Mom is on medication, an eviction process is not easy for anyone to go through, especially a senior citizen.
