What Is A Nonpayment Proceeding?
A nonpayment proceeding is a statutory proceeding that can only be commenced in Housing Court. When a tenant or another occupant of a property has not paid the rent that is due, an owner, roommate, primary tenant, or another party who holds the lease may begin nonpayment proceedings in order to recover the money that is owed.

We will prepare your nonpayment petition based upon your specific situation and help you move through the process as smoothly as possible. In addition to preparing rent demands, notices of petitions and petitions, your summary proceeding will be expertly handled, including assessing the strength and weakness of the tenant’s defenses and counterclaims.
