Most New York City evictions will take around 3 to 6 months. However, the reason for the eviction can impact the timing. If the tenant has violated the lease, you can evict them in less than 3 months. Evicting a holdover tenant can take a lot longer, especially if they claim you didn't properly serve them notice.

The landlord must go to court, must win the case, and then must pay a fee to have a law enforcement officer properly evict you. This is true even if: (1) you owe rent; (2) your lease has ended; (3) you live in a rooming house; or (4) you have stayed in a hotel room for at least 30 days.

Eviction Proceedings Building owners must notify the tenant that rent is late, what the balance is, and that, if not paid, the tenant will be evicted. Three days after notice is given or oral demand for the rent is made, the owner may file a nonpayment proceeding in Housing Court and serve papers on the tenant.

You will be listed on an eviction record for a period not exceeding seven years. The Fair Credit Reporting Act stipulates that a person's tenancy history must be revised every seven years. The best way to avoid the seven-year trap is to leave voluntarily or negotiate with your landlord.

If the tenant pays within the 5 days, the landlord must take the money. If the tenant does not pay the rent within those 5 days, the landlord can file an eviction case in court. In Chicago, the tenant can even pay the rent after the 5 days is up and stay in the unit, as long as the landlord accepts the rent.
