I don't think it is. Although it shouldn't have been filed or served that way--it may, and I say MAY be a reason to delay. Generally, these errors happen and are easy to fix. You'd be better off not representing yourself in an eviction for a number of reasons.
I applied for a New York apartment, it was accepted, and I paid the security deposit. The application states that the security is forfeited after 2 weeks if a lease is not signed. This was on March 17th. We had agreed I could sign the lease in mid-April (no exact date). I had decided to go with a... Read more »

They are illegally holding your security deposit as there is no such thing. Depending on the amount of the security deposit you should consider engaging an attorney on this as you’ve definitely been wronged.

You've asked this question in two places--this is a situation where you absolutely need an attorney. No ones position would change much, you have to present the facts of your case in a forum outside of here, retain an attorney of your choice, and handle this issue in Court.
I was held hostage by my abusive ex , I managed to escape and I never went back . I did not call the police because I was still in denial about being abused at that time but I have photos of texts of him apologizing etc for it . Can I use this as proof for sole custody ? He abandoned his child (no... Read more »

Yes, but you'll (1) need counsel, (2) need to know how to present it to the court. Text messages are considered evidence in the right context.

It depends on whether this is a civil or criminal order. The answers really depend on a lot of factual circumstances and the venue it's placed in.
The landlord of our rental building has informed us that exterior facade work under Local Law 11 will be performed for an undisclosed period of time. They are requiring tenants to remove all items from balconies during the entire time period, however long that may be (and in NYC, this could mean... Read more »

You should engage an attorney who will work this out for you. It sounds like an issue of the landlord simply playing on people's weaknesses.
My daughter’s father has a job working only 8 hours a week and he claims he provides a free public service of digging rocks and minerals and donating them, which he claims is at $20/hr loss to him and he really sells them “under the table” where the paper trail doesn’t lead back to him.

Why haven't you retained counsel to handle these matters? Your attorney would be best suited to walk you through this information! Generally, it depends on what the temporary support order details.

You should definitely be consulting an attorney. This appears to be what is known as a controlled redeliver.

There are a number of ways to attempt to get an order of protection dismissed or modified. Your question would require a bunch of facts be described before you could have a real answer from me. I often help in these matters.

I agree with my collegue. Many, including myself, make the process of divorce cost-effective and a lot less painless. The Court prefers attorneys do the work.
We had a domestic dispute last fall and she stabbed me. This was in Auburn NY. I have since moved back to the Bronx. She had our baby in June. She is in touch by text with my mom, but not me.

You would retain counsel and get a carve out to visit the children. You should consider speaking to, and retaining counsel.
I signed the lease in NYC. I asked to add my boyfriend as a roommate, and the leasing company said I could not add him because I already signed the lease.
The lease says it could be used as a residence only for myself and my immediate family, who has been living. But I thought the NYC... Read more »

At least 90 days. This is a situation that is prime for a buyout.
My lease is up and I have not renewed it. Just need I month to move into new place

You'll have to pay for the extra month. However, there will be no keeping of the deposit. There are strict rules about that.

Maybe. It would be better to have an attorney write a letter providing notice and withholding rent while you save. You have use and occupancy, so it will be hard to claw back any serious money. Definitely consult an attorney.
How can we encourage her to pay the rent before we close, and what should we tell the buyers about this difficult tenant? Her lease runs through August, at which point the buyers intend to take possession for owner occupancy.
Thank you!

So it depends! You may just want to elect to eject or evict the tenant—or work something out with the tenant. There are too many options and variations to write here. Consult with an attorney in NY. I handle these situations regularly!

You’re going to need to get an emergency order of protection. Can you call law enforcement to get it or get a temp order in court.

No he/she cannot. Immediately call 911 at the apartment and provide the officer's your landlord's information.

Did you go at this along, representing yourself? I need a lot more information before I can give you a better answer. There are too many what if's.
We both agreed that the tenants would pay on a monthly basis. The tenants have not paid a dime of rent for the past 3 months and refuse to pay now because they say they are protected from the covid 19 relief. What can I do?

Your tenants may be protected by COVID 19 protections now, but that doesn't stop you from taking the proper steps to begin the removal process and get them financially on the hook and yourself in line to get them evicted. I would strongly urge you to evict them first and sell after. Selling... Read more »
