Address not on Deed, or any city records. Can the landlord still evict me?

Anonymous Sep 27, 2015 7 views 2 answers

I own a business on commercial land. We went to trial and the landlord proved that he owned one of the lots that I Occupied but could not prove that my address was part of that lot. He introduced no evidence that any of his lots contained my address and i couldn't find anything online that showed my address as part of his lots either. His deeds had no addresses only blk and lots and he only pled my address in his petition. Will he be able to evict me or am i safe for now?

If you went to trial, then you should get a decision in the mail with the Judge's reasoning behind it if they reserved the decision for a later date.

Dear Maspeth Tenant: The decision of the trial judge will answer the question. If you believed that the petitioner landlord did not establish a prima facie case you may have sought a judgment dismissing the petition upon the close of the landlord's case. If you did so, and the judge denied the application and required that you present a defense, that may be an indication that the landlord will succeed in the decision after trial.
