September 2017 -- Michelle Itkowitz Updating and Re-Recording a 7-Part CLE Series for Lawline, "Landlord and Tenant Litigation in New York"
Michelle Itkowitz is updating and re-recording a 7-Part continuing legal education series for Lawline, "Landlord and Tenant Litigation in New York". This program is as valuable for (if not more valuable for) tenant attorneys as it is for landlord attorneys, because Michelle represents both.
Session 1: Introduction
to Landlord and Tenant Litigation and Getting a Case Started (September 15, 2017 - This one is up already!)
In
Session 1, the student is introduced to the landlord and tenant field and taken
step by step through the beginning stages of a case. Landlord and tenant cases
are often won (or lost) before the case is even filed. A myriad of legal and
factual issues need to be examined, understood, and dealt with in order to
bring a winnable case on behalf of a landlord. If you are representing tenants,
this is the class where you will learn about some great defenses.
Session
2: Landlord
and Tenant Litigation in the Courtroom
In
Session 2, the student will learn to initiate Summary Proceedings for the
Recovery of Real Property pursuant to the Real Property Actions and Proceedings
Law, and will learn how to successfully prosecute (or defend) the case through
motion practice and trial. In this session, we will also cover how to think
strategically about these cases to obtain desired objectives.
Session 3: Landlord
and Tenant Litigation and the End Game - Bringing the Case to a Satisfying
Conclusion
In
Session 3, we explore the things that come toward the end of a landlord and
tenant matter, although last does not make these important issues least. We
will be exploring the many routine and specialized clauses of a stipulation of
settlement, the intricate details that surround an eviction, how to make a
motion for attorney’s fees, and the appellate process, including stays pending
appeal.
Session
4: Commercial
Landlord and Tenant Law - Special Issues
Commercial
landlord and tenant law is sophisticated commercial litigation and needs to be
approached as such. In this session, we examine the many commonly litigated
issues in commercial landlord and tenant law, delving into the many subtleties
that make the area particularly challenging, including Yellowstone Injunctions
and Good Guy Guaranties.
Session 5: Residential
Landlord and Tenant Law - Special Issues
Residential
landlord and tenant law is, in many ways, a more difficult area of law than
commercial landlord and tenant law. This is so because many of the provisions
of a residential lease are, essentially, meaningless. A lease, for example,
might say that a residential tenant is prohibited from subletting, but that is
simply not the case. We approach this session from the point of view of
myth-busting, and track a standard residential lease and point out all the
rights that a residential tenant actually has and that a landlord of a
residential premises must respect and be mindful of.
Session
6: Rent
Stabilization – Introduction
Rent
Stabilization is one of the most misunderstood areas of real property law. In
this session we begin by answering the fundamental question of – How do I know
if a tenant is Rent Stabilized (or not)? This is a very important question in
this era of rampant illegal deregulation. If the tenant is Rent Stabilized, we
explain what that means for the landlord and for the tenant.
Session
7: Rent
Stabilization – Evictions and Defense (Wed
9/27 12:30 -1:20)
This
session takes us through the most common possibilities for evicting a Rent
Stabilized Tenant. As always, those defending such tenants will find a wealth
of information here as well.
