Urgent: NY Tenant Rights Attorney Needed for Housing Voucher Retaliation & Illegal Lockout Case
We are seeking a licensed New York attorney to assist in a time-sensitive case involving a senior tenant and her daughter (both listed on the lease). The family resides in an apartment under a Section 8 housing voucher. The landlord has recently issued a non-renewal of lease notice without any legal justification, which we believe constitutes retaliation in violation of housing laws. Additionally, the case involves a potentially illegal apartment lockout, carried out without a court order or legal notice. ⸻ Background: • The senior tenant and her daughter (co-tenant) are listed on the lease. • The apartment is subsidized through a housing voucher program. • The tenant was locked out of her home for over 5 hours without any court-issued eviction notice. • Electronic fob access was suddenly disabled; access was only restored after a staff member used a master key, after which the fob began working again — indicating remote administrative denial and reactivation. • No formal explanation was provided; building staff gave contradictory accounts. • A family member was present and recorded video footage of the lock behavior. We believe critical evidence exists within the building’s: • Electronic access control system (KABA or similar) • Security surveillance footage • Server logs or internal administrative records ⸻ Immediate Needs: • Draft and send a legal preservation of evidence letter to building management/ownership requesting they retain: • Key fob access and admin logs • Surveillance video footage • Internal communications regarding access denial or lease non-renewal • Legal support and potential representation in pursuing claims for: • Illegal lockout / unlawful denial of access • Tenant harassment • Retaliation against voucher holders ⸻ Ideal Attorney: • Licensed to practice in New York • Familiar with NYC/NYS tenant protections, especially those involving housing voucher recipients • Experienced in retaliatory lease actions, illegal lockouts, or landlord harassment • Able to act swiftly to preserve evidence and initiate legal protections • Open to contingency-based or flexible fee arrangements depending on case merits ⸻ We have documentation, timeline, and video evidence available for review. We are ready to move forward immediately and will share all supporting materials with qualified counsel. Only licensed attorneys with jurisdiction in New York will be considered. Please respond with your credentials, relevant experience, and earliest availability.
