New York, NY asked in Contracts, Real Estate Law and Landlord - Tenant for New York

Q: What do you do if you receive a 10 day notice of termination but you already corrected the violation?

I received a 10 day notice to cure because I had a washing machine and I removed it immidatelty. However, I just received a 10 day notice of termination stating that I'm still violating the lease because I still have it. But I do not and no one ever came to check. It says I have to move out. What do I do?

A: Send a written notice saying you removed the item on X date and cured any conceivable breach, therefore your lesse rights cannot be terminated.

A: This is probably a set-up to get rid of you. Once the ten days expires you will get a Notice of Petition, which is a court case. You must respond and defend it or you will be evicted.
