Suffolk County Holdover Evictions

A holdover proceeding in Suffolk County refers to a legal action brought in the county’s housing court to resolve a dispute between a landlord and tenant. In a holdover proceeding, a landlord may seek to regain possession of a rental property from a tenant who has stayed past the end of the lease or who has failed to comply with the terms of the lease agreement. The court will hear evidence from both sides and make a decision on whether the tenant must vacate the property or if they may continue to occupy it.
