Reclaim Your Property After Lease Expiration

Quick Evicts, Inc manages holdover eviction cases in New York for tenants who remain after lease expiration or violate lease terms.

When a lease expires and a tenant does not leave, or when a tenant violates lease terms and refuses to correct the issue, you need a legal process designed for possession rather than rent collection. Holdover evictions in New York address unauthorized occupancy, lease violations, and tenants who remain after their legal right to occupy has ended. Quick Evicts, Inc handles petition preparation, court filing, and enforcement coordination with strict attention to the procedural standards required in housing court.

The process begins with a termination notice that identifies the reason for eviction and provides the tenant with a period to vacate. In New York, the length of this notice depends on the type of tenancy and the reason for termination. Once the notice period expires, a holdover petition is prepared and filed, and a court date is assigned for a hearing.

If you own rental property in New York and a tenant has remained after lease expiration or violated lease terms, get in touch with Quick Evicts, Inc to review your case and confirm the proper notice and filing steps.

Why Holdover Cases Require Different Legal Strategy

Holdover cases differ from non-payment cases because the goal is to regain possession based on lease expiration or violation, not unpaid rent. The petition must clearly identify the legal grounds for termination and include proper notice documentation. In New York, holdover petitions are reviewed closely by housing courts, and errors in notice language or service method can result in dismissal.

After filing, you attend a hearing where the court evaluates whether the notice was proper and whether the tenant has a valid defense. Common defenses include claims of retaliation, improper notice, or lease renewal rights. Quick Evicts, Inc prepares your case to address these defenses and present evidence supporting your right to possession. Once a judgment is entered, a warrant of eviction is issued and a marshal is scheduled to remove the tenant.

The service includes notice drafting, petition preparation, court appearance coordination, and marshal scheduling. It does not include rent collection or property damage claims, but it does provide full legal support for obtaining possession of your property.

Landlords filing holdover cases often ask about notice requirements, lease violation documentation, and what happens if a tenant claims they have a right to renew. These answers address the most frequent questions.

Here are answers to common landlord concerns

The notice depends on the type of tenancy and the reason for termination. Month-to-month tenants typically require thirty days, while lease violations may require a ten-day cure notice. Quick Evicts, Inc drafts the correct notice based on your lease and tenancy type.
What notice is required for a holdover eviction in New York?
You will need written documentation such as lease terms, photos, correspondence, or witness statements that show the violation occurred. Quick Evicts, Inc helps you organize this evidence for presentation at the hearing.
How do I prove a lease violation in court?
The court reviews the lease and any applicable rent stabilization rules to determine whether a renewal right exists. If no renewal right applies, the case proceeds to judgment.
What happens if the tenant claims they have a right to renew?
Holdover petitions are dismissed when the notice is defective, the grounds for termination are unclear, or proof of service is missing. Each petition is drafted to meet strict housing court standards to avoid these outcomes.
Why are holdover petitions dismissed more often than non-payment petitions?
The marshal is scheduled after a judgment of possession is entered and a warrant of eviction is issued. You are notified of the enforcement date once the warrant is provided by the court.
When does the marshal enforce the eviction?
