What is the name of your state?
NEW YORK-NASSAU COUNTY-LONG ISLAND
Briefly, we signed a one year lease for a basement apartment in Nassau County, which we didn't know was illegal at the time. Now house is for sale and we are being evicted. We are contacting the real estate which rented us this illegal apartment concerning the return of our 1500 commission fee, but do we have a leg to stand on with the landlord as far as trying to recover the 1500 rent for the past 6 months being he knew it was illegal to rent? Thank you for any help!
