Dear Uniondale Tenant:
A legal lease is an absolute defense to a landlord claiming entitlement to an eviction unless the landlord initiated the eviction lawsuit based on a claim the tenant violated a condition of the lease and did not cure the claimed breach within the period to do so. You gave no hint about what is going on in the eviction matter other than you have a lease.
