I recently signed a lease with a co-op shareholder, and while we stipulated in the lease that it is a shared living space, his presence will be very limited. I recently found out that the co-op has a rule that even for roommate situations, the owner has to be living there 80% of the time.
Prior to moving in, I had no clue about how co-ops worked, and am now nervous about being evicted. I have three questions:
- How much time do I have to leave if the board does file to evict me?
- Is there any chance that if my landlord goes to the board and requests to make this a legal sublet, they would oblige?
- What are my obligations to the landlord regarding the lease I signed if I am evicted before the end of the lease?
Thanks!
