On two occasions in the previous 15 years LL sent me NON PAYMENT Petition when I was 5 or 6 months behind. Ended up settling for warranty of habitability issues and paying myself first time and getting one shot deal second time.
Now, I am 18 months behind and he still hasn't sent me a petition.
Is there a reason for this?
Just found out two of my neighbors got their Non payment petitions after falling 10 and 11 months behind last year. One said that in the past it was never more than 6 months.
What could it be that is making the LL not file the petition?
He is a very seasoned LL and recently converted our building to a coop. Majority (80%) of the apartments are rent stabilized.
What could it be that is making the LL not file the petition (with the required notices that have to precede it)?
Can I apply for One shot deal without the stipulation from court, which they made me get last time before paying?
Will they pay again, considering the total I owe now is $13,500?
I'm disabled and on fixed income that barely covers my rent and utilities, but dont have DRIE yet.
