non renewal of lease
I have rented an apt in my home in Central Islip NY to a married couple with two young kids (5-8). They were shown the apt by a rental agent and were interviewed by myself and seemed ok i was a bit uneasy but i needed the money. So they moved in from a shelter on 10-25-07. I had them sign a month to month lease but neglected to state that there should be no illegal substances in or near the premises. i have smelled them smoking joints in the apt and witnessed the same in the back yard, in addition during the initial interview the husband neglected to inform me that he was just released from prison for ATT CRIM SALE CONTR SUBSTANCE 3RD class C. As if that wasn’t enough while away visiting family my spouse called me very upset and told me that ”he beat his wife so bad in the apt. that she ran to our door begging for respit and mild medical attention in the form of ice packs and band aids” this took place around 4am 11-14-07. A few days before the alleged incident of domestic violence i notified the couple that they were on ”thin ice” and that our home was to remain drug and violence free. After the aformentioned incident a 30 day noticed was presented 2 them but they refused to sign the paper. What is the next course of action?

Major kitchen remodel
I currently rent a house and have been here over a year, so my lease is month to month. My landlord is planning to rip out the kitchen and put in a new one. I work out of my home fulltime and cannot afford the disruption. I also do not want to have the expense of the family eating out every meal for months. I think that my landlord expects me to pay the full rent during the remodel. What are my options?

It seems the owner of the condo my wife and I rent hasn’t paid the HOA fees for some time.
The owner has not renewed our lease and we pay on a month to month bases.
How do we stand? Can we be evicted? Please help.

Eviction notice
My brother was just given an eviction notice after about 15 years at his apt, and has to be out by 3-31-08. He is a month to month renter. He has been unemployed for over 1 year but has paid his rent. He was just diognosed with a heart condition. His landlord did not seem to have a problem until he mentioned his recent medical condition. What rights does my brother have? Can he be evicted without any reason? Will this hurt his chances of finding another place to rent?

Eviction
landlord gave us 30 days notice to vacate premises so that he can remove old home and put new home on same property. He stated that it will take approximately 5 wks and that he wants us to return and continue being month to month tenants. I have written landlord asking for him to put this in writing along with how much rent will be once home is completed. I also asked him for a letter of reference(incase we are asked for one). To date I have heard nothing from him. We are having difficulty finding another place to live within the school district. We have 3 children and 2 dogs. What rights do we have if we do not find another home by May1st? Shouldn’t he have given us more than 30 days notice since we have 3 children, 2 dogs and have lived here for almost 5 yrs?
