What to know about tenant rights cases in Manhasset
Warranty of habitability — NY's habitability law
Every NY residential lease includes an implied warranty that the unit is fit for human habitation. Violations (mold, no heat, vermin, water damage) entitle tenants to rent abatement, repair credits, and damages.
New York's tenant-protection law 2019 — strongest tenant protections in decades
The 2019 New York's tenant-protection law limited security deposits to 1 month, banned source-of-income discrimination, capped late fees, and expanded eviction protections statewide — not just NYC.
Illegal lockout — RPAPL
If your landlord changed the locks, removed your belongings, or kept you out without a court order, that's an illegal lockout under RPAPL — triple damages and attorney's fees available.
Retaliatory eviction — NY's anti-retaliation law
If you complained about repairs, code violations, or rent overcharges and then got an eviction notice within 1 year, that's presumed retaliation. The burden shifts to the landlord to prove a non-retaliatory reason.
