Hi everyone,
I have been staying in a basement apartment since this summer, which I recently found out was illegal (I am not from NYC and had no idea what an illegal appt was).
My landlords suspect that their appt was complained of and expect there to be problems with the authorities.
I am in school right now and have no time to find another place, I really like the landlords and want to stay, but my landlord told me that I may have to move out depending on what happens. I have paid for November rent.
Right now I do not know what is going to happen, but I want to be prepared with my rights if my landlord says move out.
Finally he is talking about housing me somewhere else for a couple nights while the appt gets inspected, but this is to remove the stove and possibly the bed. I would obviously not be able to live comfortably if he did this.
I have done quite a bit of reading, but I feel like the no lease and illegal appt thing my not work in my favor, so I would really like to get some opinions, thank you.
