We take eviction cases only in Albany, Schenectady, Rensselaer, and Saratoga counties, New York.
The cases he takes
We handle four kinds of eviction cases, and he decides whether we accept each case:
- Nonpayment cases, for unpaid rent
- Holdover cases, when a lease or tenancy has ended
- Licensee and squatter cases, for an occupant who isn’t a tenant
- Commercial cases, quoted after our review
Most cases begin with a written notice, and where Good Cause Eviction applies, the case must also meet its requirements (RPL Article 6-A). A residential case is a flat-fee case; our pricing page explains what the fee includes and the additional costs that apply only if a case needs them.
