LANDLORD-TENANT LAW

When a landlord withholds your security deposit, ignores dangerous conditions, or tries to force you from your home, the law in both New Jersey and New York gives you real power to push back. ARAVANA LAW represents tenants, and only tenants, in landlord-tenant disputes across both states. We never represent landlords or management companies, so there are no conflicts and no divided loyalties when your housing is on the line.

Cases we handle:

  • Our tenant practice covers the disputes renters actually face eviction defense in New York Housing Court and the New Jersey Special Civil Part, emergency relief after illegal lockouts, security deposit recovery, rent abatement for unsafe or uninhabitable conditions, landlord harassment and retaliation claims, rent overcharge and rent stabilization matters. When a dangerous condition causes an injury rather than an inconvenience, our premises liability practice carries the case forward, an advantage few tenant firms can offer.
  • Tenants in both states hold stronger cards than most realize. New York law requires your deposit back with an itemized statement within fourteen days, implies a warranty of habitability in every residential lease, and allows treble damages against a landlord who forces you out without a court order. New Jersey’s Anti-Eviction Act bars eviction without proven good cause, requires deposits returned within thirty days with double damages for wrongful withholding, and has recognized the warranty of habitability. In both states, a lockout without a court order is illegal, and courts can return you back to your home quickly.
