A: The stipulation is valid, but at this point, as the courts are closed, it is unenforceable. Evictions are stayed at least through June 20. There is nothing you can do until then.

A: Due to the Covid-19 outbreak all evictions in the state of New York are stayed until at least June 20, 2020. A plenary action may allow you to recoup use and occupancy for occupation of the premises after the agreed upon vacate date.
