I have a rent-stabilized apt. in nyc. I have a lease; I am primary tenant.Bldg is over 100 yrs old.
ten total units; only half are rented/occupied.
I was awarded (prevailing party is I), legal fees 4 months ago but I deliberately didn't asK LL FOR it yet. I had a nonpayment trial and I owe a sum greater than the awarded amount.
I mailed a check (on time) that reflects the total amt due minus the awarded amount. LL wil probably not cash my reduced check. I filed papers to have my awarded sum credited to my
past rent due. What should I look out for when we are heard in housing court? I know my LL well; he will try and oppose the judicial order/decision that compels him to pay my legal fees from a previous trial.please respond quickly, since court date is very soon.
thank you.
