When representing tenants in holdover proceedings, facts are important, but so are procedural requirements that the landlord’s attorney must follow. This course, presented by experienced practitioner Peggy Collen, will introduce practitioners who represent tenants in New York City to a procedural attack on the landlord’s case. The instructor will discuss relevant statutes, a step-by-step evaluation of the predicate notice, the Notice of Petition/Petition, negotiations, defenses, and possible settlement.
