Are You Being Evicted? Call Us.

There are many ways to fight eviction. At Silberman Law Firm, we will explain and defend your rights as a tenant. You may be able to stop paying rent legally while the issue is being resolved. Our tenants' rights law office may also be able to attack the eviction notice itself. Whatever the resolution of the case, with effective legal representation, you may be able to save money and buy time until an acceptable result is reached.

Loft Tenants

Loft tenants can run into a number of legal issues specific to this type of housing. Many loft tenants have made significant investments in their homes over the years. Landlords want to take advantage of building improvements and push people out of the homes they have lived in for many years.

• Has your loft neighborhood been rezoned to allow for residential tenancy? What does this mean for you? Call Silberman Law Firm to find out how to resolve rezoning problems.
• What can a loft tenant threatened with eviction do? — Contact a tenants' rights lawyer with a long history in the New York Loft Tenant Movement-Silberman Law Firm. While changes in New York State laws favor building owners in many cases, there are still legal avenues that can help tenants.
