My question involves an eviction in the state of: New York
I have been late on my rent for money issues since November on a month to month agreement. Money is just extremely tight right now. Landlord has been working with me but is threatening me with a 3 day notice. I plan on paying her today and the rest tom. She also wants me to sign a document saying that I have to pay the rent by the 1st of each month or I have to be out, which is understandable. However, do I have the right as a month to month tenant to tell her I need some sort of lease instead of a month to month agreement?? I've been there for 3 years and this is the first period where I have been late or any type of problem with the rent. Plus we had an incident about 1 1/2 years ago where she threatened me with a 3 day notice due to a problem with our toilet and we said I would pay to have a plumber come out to the house and just take the money off the rent. She told us including my 4 year old daughter to go in a bucket instead until she or her grandson could make it out to our house in the next day or two.
