Landlord Representation

We work with residential and commercial landlords, real estate investors, and property management companies to enforce lease terms, protect their properties, and ensure compliance with applicable housing laws. Our services include:


  • Eviction Proceedings (Holdover and Nonpayment) 
  • Lease Drafting, Review, and Enforcement 
  • Notice Preparation and Service 
  • Tenant Defaults and Breach of Contract 
  • Security Deposit Disputes 
  • Property Damage Claims 
  • Representation in Housing Court and Civil Court

Tenant Advocacy

Tenants also have powerful legal protections, and when those rights are violated, they deserve strong legal representation. We assist tenants facing:


  • Wrongful Eviction or Illegal Lockout 
  • Uninhabitable Living Conditions (Warranty of Habitability) 
  • Landlord Harassment or Retaliation 
  • Security Deposit Disputes and Unlawful Withholding 
  • Rent Overcharges and Lease Violations 
  • Breach of Quiet Enjoyment or Lease Terms

Eviction Proceedings

Evictions in New York must follow a strict legal process. Any failure to follow procedure can result in delays, dismissal, or counterclaims. Whether you are initiating or defending an eviction, we ensure proper adherence to legal timelines and documentation:

  • Nonpayment Proceedings: Filed when a tenant has failed to pay rent.
  • Holdover Proceedings: Filed when a tenant remains in the property after the lease has expired or has otherwise violated lease terms.

We draft and serve all required notices, represent clients at all hearings, and work to achieve the best outcome possible, whether that means eviction, settlement, or defense. Reach Out to the Professionals at Zeh & Associates, P.C. Today (631) 350-7700

Lease Drafting & Enforcement

Many disputes stem from unclear or unenforceable lease agreements. Our attorneys draft and review commercial and residential leases to ensure they are legally compliant, unambiguous, and enforceable. We also assist in enforcing lease provisions through litigation or alternative resolution. For landlords, a solid lease is the first line of defense. For tenants, understanding the lease terms can prevent legal missteps. We make sure your lease works for—not against—you.
