My question involves an eviction in the state of: NY
My father rented the house out to my family and I in december 2013. We signed a 1 year lease in the amount of $400.00/mo. Since February 24th, 2014, I had asked him several times through text to take March rent and he refused. On March 11th he then texted me to pay an amount higher than what was on the lease agreement. I told him he could not raise the rent when you have a year lease agreement. Later on that day he then sent a text stating for us not to pay anything that he was just going to foreclose on the house. Then today he texted me stating that he wanted the $400.00 rent by tomorrow or else he will evict us. Can he do this? This has been very stressful on my fiancee and I.![]()
