Tenant Law PodcastWelcome to the Tenant Law Podcast, where we talk about new, interesting, and/or important legal cases affecting New York City tenants. Listen on Apple, Spotify, Youtube. There are also a bunch of great blog posts on this page of tenant questions and Tenant Learning Platform instructor’s answers.
In Episode 29, we conclude our initial four-part series on the historic new Good Cause Eviction Law, by having an awesome panel of highly experienced New York City landlord-tenant litigators discuss the law.
Listen on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Randi Gilbert, Esq. is a partner at Horing Welikson Rosen & Digrugilliers, PC and she represents landlords.
Seth A. Miller, Esq. is a partner at Collins, Dobin & Miller and he represents tenants.
How do I know these two people? I know them as adversaries. Sometimes I am Randi’s adversary because I am representing a tenant, and sometimes I am Seth’s adversary, because I am representing a landlord. I can tell you that these are two of the smartest people in landlord-tenant work in New York City today. And I have always been impressed with Randi’s and Seth’s devotion to holding up the highest ethical standards in our profession.
But forget my opinion, the fact is, if you take all the major appellate cases that have shaped our landlord-tenant jurisprudence over the last 30 years, either one or both, Randi Gilbert and/or Seth Miller, are involved in many of those cases. These are the people who literally shape the law.
The Good Cause Eviction Law is a complete game changer. In Episode 25, I explained how Good Cause Eviction works and how it protects tenants. In Episode 26, I explained who Good Cause protects, and how you can figure out whether it protects you. In Episode 27, I covered Good Cause Eviction’s new sweeping notice requirements. Now, in this Episode 29, I’m giving you a unique chance to be a fly on the wall to listen to an in-depth shoptalk among the lawyers who will be litigating over the Good Cause Eviction statute for the rest of their careers.
One more thing. This show has not been at all political; you do not need me for that. But there was really no way to offer you this authentic content in this Episode 29 without having a little bit of politics sneak on in, because these lawyers are warriors for their clients. Let’s just say they have strong opinions. Also, it gets a little wonky, and you might not understand every reference to every section of the statute, but that does not matter, you will get the gist. And the bottom line remains that you will not hear conversations like this anywhere else. As I always say, the law belongs to you New York, but your ownership of the law is only as great as your understanding of the law. So, let’s learn, to live better. Now let’s talk to Randi Gilbert and Seth Miller.
