Commercial Landlord And Real Estate Management Company Lawsuits New York Yellowstone Injunction Lawyer

Attorney Gary Wachtel provides comprehensive services to commercial real estate landlords and real estate management companies in New York. His broad range of services in landlord and tenant litigation includes such services as defense of Yellowstone injunctions in New York Supreme Court.

Landlord and tenant law in New York State is driven by both legislation and case law, with the law constantly evolving into complicated rules and procedures that often invoke other, interrelated areas of law. Litigation in this field is complex, and the administrative procedures, filing limitations, evidentiary requirements and other procedural demands can be abstract without the skilled guidance of a practiced lawyer whose practice emphasizes landlord and tenant law.

Yellowstone Injunctions

A Yellowstone injunction is a New York Supreme Court proceeding initiated by the tenant when the landlord seeks to terminate the lease because of what the landlord perceives as a default thereof. For example, the landlord may allege that a tenant is doing something in violation of the lease and serve the tenant with a notice to cure. The tenant doesn’t want to give the landlord the opportunity to prematurely terminate the lease, so the tenant may go to New York Supreme Court and seek a Yellowstone injunction and temporary restraining order.

A Yellowstone injunction is a kind of injunction that asks the court to maintain the status quo. Under the Yellowstone injunction, the landlord would not be permitted to terminate the lease and gives the tenant the right to cure the alleged default without the notice to cure expiring. Without the Yellowstone injunction, the notice to cure would expire before the judge could determine whether the tenant was in default or not in default, and the landlord could terminate the lease.

In this practice, Mr. Wachtel helps commercial landlords and real estate management companies by countering tenant defenses and working toward a final judgment of possession and money judgment or settlement as expeditiously as possible. He understands that significant amounts of money are at stake, and every week or month that goes by, a landlord could lose tens of thousands of dollars in rent.

Mr. Wachtel understands the need for the client to know what is going on every step of the way. Because of the personalized attention Mr. Wachtel gives each case, he knows exactly what stage the case is at and can inform the client with a telephone call.
