Discussion about
I am a month to month tenant in non-rent stabalized/controlled apt. in manhattan. LL wants me out and sent the 30 day get out notice twice because the 1st time he accepted the rent check so started over. We pay rent on time. Now I get an attorney letter with returned rent check and I assume a meeting in housing court is next. Our very vague attorney says, "you will lose but it will take a while." My husband insists we fight to the bitter end in hopes of dragging it out until June when our kids get out of local school. I hear conflicting reports about what this will do to our credit and future rental application....any thoughts??

First off, no need to post the same thing three times.

Next, let me understand -

1. You are month-to-month, and have agreed to and acknowledge that arrangement.
2. Your unit is a market rate unit with no unusual legal provisions.

And now your landlord wants you (legally) out, and you think you're entitled to what? Stay there as long as you like, and sue the landlord, when they have (according to your description of events) done nothing either legally or even ethically incorrect?

Is there anything here I'm missing, people? Help me out.....

Because if the events are exactly as you describe, just find another place to live and move on with your life!
