Ok, here's my story. I've lived in my apartment for 3 years with no problems. Do to the unfortunate events here in NY I've been unemployed for about 9 months. Well on January 1st I asked my girlfriend to write a check for my rent because I wasn't sure that my unemployement check had cleared yet and I preferred to not be late with the rent than to wait until after the holiday to speak with my bank and make sure the funds were cleared. To my suprise the LL came to speak to me today to ask me why I gave him her check insinuating that I was trying to pull something because by giving him her check it meant that she was a tenant too and he didn't want that. I explained the situation and told him I didn't know that giving him her check would be such a big deal and wrote him a new check. He told me that between that and the fact that I made too much noise at night (which is a crock because all I do is watch TV) that I should look for someplace else to live, even though he never mentioned the noise to me before. He then told me I shouldn't bring people over(which is none of his business but I've seriously had about 5 quests in 3 years) and that I use the bathroom as a steamroom because the paint on the ceiling is chipping (btw, there is no window in the bathroom and he's painted the ceiling once in 3 years, what does he expect?!?). Then he finished off with the final lie, that he needed the apartment for his son. I told him there was an empty apartment next door for over a year and why did he need my apartment now after he finally rented the apartment next door. He told me it was too small because it was only a studio and the apartment was for his son and his wife and his two kids. Apparently he thinks they will all fit comfortably in my small 1 bedroom apartment!! Sorry for the longwinded story but I needed to rant a little plus I know the more info I give the easier it is for somoeone to help me out. With all that being said, I obviously have no lease and never have..do I have ANY rights at all. Thanks in advance for any help.
