Found out apartment being rented illegal
By landers159
New York
Found out that the apartment I am renting is illegal. Also found out that the person who I thought was my landlord does not own the house and was not authorized to sublease anything , let alone an illegal apartment. They are holding a month’s security .
I spoke to the true owners who were furious and they advised me to get my rent back that has been paid and move. Legally how do I get my money back as well as my security.
Need advise in NY
Thanks

The best and logical step you could do is to file a complaint against your landlord for your paid rent and security deposit. You can either file your complaint through small claims court or through the RPA. Filing a complaint with the RPA is cheaper though than filing a complaint through small claims court. You can use this link to file your complaint with the RPA http://www.rentalprotectionagency.com/complaint_center.php?id=51dd308610038 |
