: : : Landlord is suing for damages in NYC Small Claims court for an apartment owned in NJ. The address given on the summons is landlord's work address in NYC. Address stated on lease was in NJ.

: 1. Only individuals can sue in small claims courts, corporations, partnerships, etc, must use commercial claims court instead. What is your landlord, a person or a business entity?

Landlord is individual, I think. I have no way of knowing if landlord is running the rent money to a personal bank account or funnelling it into the small business landlord owns in NYC.

If landlord sues in NYC, can landlord also sue in NJ small claims court if apt. is in NJ?
