Landlord-Tenant law governs the rental of commercial and residential property in NYC and the surrounding areas. In order to have a good landlord-tenant relationship that meets the needs of both parties, it is essential to have an effective legal contract in place and an experienced property law attorney by your side.

Last decade’s economic and financial crisis hit American homeowners particularly hard. In response, several government programs were designed to help those affected keep their homes. Fortunately, these programs are still available for homeowners in NYC who are struggling to make monthly mortgage payments.

Our experienced property law attorneys can help you obtain a loan modification that will reduce your monthly mortgage payment and interest rate, and may even reduce your principal balance.

If, however, financial problems are forcing you to sell your home and it’s worth less than what you owe the lender, a short sale may be your best solution. Rest assured, the legal team at The Law Office of Alexander Paykin, P.C. can help. In a short sale, the lender effectively agrees to take less than it’s owed, in favor of a quick sale that benefits both parties.

In some cases, foreclosure becomes the only remaining option for a homeowner. Although we will do everything in our power to prevent this from happening, if foreclosure becomes imminent, our legal team is highly skilled in foreclosure defense and all aspects of real estate litigation.

Attempting to purchase commercial property without the help of an experienced NYC real estate attorney could have disastrous consequences, including unknowingly purchasing property with structural problems, boundary issues, or a lien against it.
