Author Message   susan1014 Citizen Username: Susan1014 Post Number: 82 Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2004 - 9:45 am:        One of my coworkers is looking for a good tenant lawyer in NYC, and I thought that I'd ask the collective wisdom of the board! (especially the ex-New Yorkers among us) She is facing a nasty situation...landlord negligence, water damage, heavy mold...withheld rent for the time that she couldn't live in the apartment. Now the landlord is asking for a punative rent increase ($500/mo) and threatening lawsuit for the withheld rent. Does anyone have recommendations for a good lawyer who does this sort of work in the City?
