Fight Illegal Evictions

If you’re renting or living in a dwelling in New York, you have rights when it comes to evictions.

It’s important to know that evictions must follow legal procedures, and if someone tries to remove you from your home without a court order 👩‍⚖️ carried out by the 👮County Sheriff, it could be an illegal eviction—which is a crime under New York law.  That includes constructive eviction such as turning off your utilities. 🔌💧🔥

If this happens, you should call the Police.  Additional information on how to contact the Police below. (more…)
