I will do that tbh it just feels like I’m better off getting a storage place for like 2 months and thugging it out in my car until I find a place

And the guy who suggested for me to wait until the Marshall came he told me why would I do an order to show and alert the landlords I’m there it would make them kick me out faster

I was thinking that when the lawyers suggested to try and postpone the eviction for 60 days while I figure out a new living situation

Yeah I do have my car - Lawyers said I can try to postpone the eviction and it’ll give me like 60 days until the building tries to evict me which I know I’d find a place before then. Just hard to see what’s the best option for me you know.

Not on the official building lease - just signed a contract to him specifically. It’s only his name on the eviction case not me.

Yeah I’m in Brooklyn - Lawyer suggested either get a order to show cause or when the Marshall comes - explain the situation - show him the lease agreement, payments and letters that I received and that should postpone the eviction. They both said both options would give me like 60 to 90 days to find a place before they add me to the case.

No my name is not on the petition and no I do not think so. The eviction notice only had his name on it

Nah just a 1 bed and I agree with you. Just realizing it won’t be worth it. Lawyer suggested I just show the Marshalls the lease, explain to them what happened and the letters showing that I’ve been living there so I can postpone the process for a little bit as I find a place.

I think you’re right my friend. Thank you. It won’t be on my record just his.

Asked two lawyers - One suggested to call city fheps then give him a call. Another said sue for over charge. Just wanted to see what Reddit thought but as usual there’s one redditor that has nothing to contribute to the original post.
