Before an Eviction Is Started

New York landlord-tenant matters can involve different legal requirements depending on the circumstances.

Resolve WNY can help a landlord organize the facts, lease documents, payment history, communications and other records so the information is ready for review.

When determining the appropriate legal notice, grounds for a proceeding, timing requirements or other legal questions is necessary, the landlord should obtain guidance from a licensed attorney.

Working With Your Attorney

Landlords and property management companies that already have counsel can use Resolve WNY for administrative support under the attorney's direction.

This may include document organization, transcription, record assembly, exhibit preparation, communication coordination and other administrative work, allowing the attorney to remain responsible for legal analysis, strategy and representation.

Property Owners & Property Managers

Administrative support may be appropriate for:

• Individual landlords
• Small property owners
• Real estate investors
• Property management companies
• Businesses managing rental properties

For clients managing multiple properties, Resolve WNY can also help establish organized administrative systems for maintaining leases, correspondence, payment records and other property-related documentation.

Important to Know

Resolve WNY provides nonlegal administrative, clerical and document-organization support. We do not determine whether legal grounds for eviction exist; select or draft legal notices based on independent legal judgment; calculate statutory or court deadlines; advise landlords or tenants regarding their legal rights, defenses or remedies; determine what legal proceeding should be commenced; provide legal strategy; represent a landlord, property owner or business in court; make court appearances as legal counsel; or guarantee that an eviction will be granted.

When a matter requires interpretation of New York landlord-tenant law, determination of legal requirements, legal strategy or representation, clients should consult a licensed attorney.
