Could you update us on how this panned out and what your Lawyer said?? This could be great information to pass on....
Hope to hear back from you,
Brandon
You've already done what would be the best advice for someone in your situation: Speak with a real estate lawyer.
New York can be a tricky legal landscape to navigate, and only an attorney will be able to properly advise you and help you avoid potentially costly headaches.
Best of luck!

Evicting people in NYC can be tricky, however. If your tenant is savvy and doesn't want to leave things could get quite complex for you. So, definitely get a clear and specific exit strategy from your legal advisor--step by step. Best of luck to you,

Recognize you may not be able to get him out much before May in any case. And I don't know what tenant-protection laws may exist in New York. In some areas--such as Washington, D.C.--it can take months and months to remove a tenant who's on a month-to-month lease.
Good luck.
