Landlord and Tenant Litigation

New York is often described as a city of renters. It should come as no surprise that a wide variety of disputes arise between tenants and landlords.

We also represent tenants and landlords in administrative proceedings such as proceedings before the Division of Housing & Community Renewal. (see more)

Alternative Dispute Resolution

Sometimes it is preferable to resolve a dispute in a forum other than court. Other times a client is required to resolve a matter through arbitration because of agreed-upon language in a contract or, alternatively, a client is contractually-bound to engage in mediation prior to engaging in litigation. We represent individuals and businesses in both arbitrations and mediations.

Leasing

The lease is the documents that defines the landlord-tenant relationship. As such, it is critical that it contain the terms that you expect. At The Law Offices of Daniel A. Singer PLLC, we review, negotiate, and draft both commercial and residential leases. (see more)
