Two weeks after a bench trial, I received a piece of first-class (unregistered) mail from Housing Court. Inside was a copy of the judgment: Landlord won and I lost. Further, I must vacate by a date certain.
I believe the decision is incorrect and started to investigate an appeal.
According to the Housing Court website, it appears that the judgment mailed to me has no force in law unless and until Landlord's Attorney files a NOTICE OF ENTRY because without it, I cannot appeal.
Is my interpretation correct? If yes, and if there is no NOTICE OF ENTRY by the vacate date, am I entitled to stay in my apartment?
Thanks for replying.
