Apartment Lease ??
Does anyone know where I can pull up renters rights for NYC? We recently moved into a new home, after renting the same apt for 3 years. The landlord owes us the first two months rent that we put down as security. Our apt lease had expired in 2002, and we never signed a new one, so we figured the lease was void and we did not give two months notice prior to moving out. The landlord says that since we did not give notice, he is not giving us back our deposit (over $2000!) According to him, even though the lease was expired, legally we are still bound by it. Anyone know where I can get more info on this? I want to take the b*stard to small claims court, but want to know my rights first. Thanks!!
