Eviction Hearing Preparation Tips
Summary
In New York, an Order to Show Cause allows tenants to present their case in housing court. Eviction on the same day is unlikely unless the judge orders it. Both parties usually attend the hearing. Its advisable to have legal representation and to prepare by gathering relevant documents and clearly explaining your situation to the judge. The judge has discretion over the time granted for moving out, so requesting additional time is possible. Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice.Full Conversation
