Williamsburg, NY - Tenant Not Paying Rent Evicted from Loft |

A Brooklyn judge in November promised to give the woman more time if she had trouble finding a new place, or if the Health Department did not restore her subsidy. The subsidy has not been restored, and she had to leave her apartment this month.
The reason: Owner Simon Taub, who drew ire after a judge allowed him to build a wall at the center of his Borough Park mansion to separate him from his wife, has no certificate of occupancy for the Grand St. building.
The woman says Taub threatened to break her front door lock, an allegation Taub denies.
I didn't touch the lock, said Taub, who said his estranged wife, Chana, has been supporting the tenant's struggle. "My wife is working against me for a tenant who doesn't pay rent. The bottom line is a person has to pay rent."

THe landlord is right. THe courts favor tenants all the time and give them plenty of time to leave. MEanwhile, he has been out 6?7?8? months rent. The tenant is taking advantage of the court system. Oy nebach she is disabled?? She couldnt find another apt? No- she only live in WIlly with her actress/actor friends. Let her move to Baltimore where she can get a 2 br for under 1000. Yech!

I really have sympathy with the woman that's obviously homeless now, I wish she finds a nice apartment very soon, and forget of her pain of being evicted from her home.
on the other hand, the landlord is also right, he is not obligated to provide free lunch even for the poorest, if someone doesn't pay the rent, they have to leave the apt. sorry, but thats the rule.

What happens if you don’t pay your mortgage???
Do any judges say give it more time??? Or should the bank say it's OK you can stay here for free???

As it happens to be, yes, judges are increasingly giving more time now, as the subprime crisis is growing out of control.

It is g'neiva to live in his building w/o paying rent.Is it mean if a store owner requires you to pay for merchandise you want to take out from his store?
The landlord may be evil or good,but the tenant has to pay her rent either way.
