What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
Hi,
In May-June of 2011, there were major leaks and ceiling collapses (due to construction directly above my apartment) causing extensive damage to both my living and bathroom furniture. I sued in small claims (landlords denied damage) and received the full judgment in my favor. As I pay my rent on time each month, I was wondering if I would be allowed (after the 30 days of demanding) to garnish my rent the next few months until the judgement is paid in full (I would send the canceled rent check each month as a receipt of sorts)? - Thank you
