QUEENS-NY (NYC) Tenant
Hello everyone, I rented a room in an apt on Dec 1, 2010, no contact, just verbal agreement. My LL traveled right after renting the room and has been away for 2 months. Last January 30 she sent me an email saying she needed the room back on March 1 (which is crazy as we had verbally agreed 6 months min.) She gave me a 30 day notice. I never acknowledged the receipt of the email. She will be back, physically present, Feb 16. Question is: 1) are emails a valid and legal form of eviction? 2) What will happen if I tell her that emails are not a valid notice or, for example, that I never received her emails?
3) What exactly would happen, what steps would have to be taken on both ends, if I decided to stay longer and how much time would I probably have? 4) And would staying longer affect my legal or credit record in any way? What´s the line for me for staying and having or not having some sort of legal record or affect my credit? Thanks for the help.
