Landlord Trespass New York Guilty Verdict Prosecution
Landlord trespass remains one of the more contentious issues in New York residential law because it sits at the intersection of property rights, tenant protections, and criminal liability. When a property owner unlawfully enters a tenant occupied dwelling particularly with force or threatening conduct the matter escalates beyond a mere civil dispute and becomes a criminal offense under New York Penal Law. This case study examines a landlord trespass incident involving destructive entry, intimidation, and interference with lawful occupancy. It also highlights how a criminal defense team representing the tenant successfully secured a finding of guilt and a monetary penalty against the landlord.In New York, the law clearly protects tenants’ right to exclusive possession until a proper court ordered eviction occurs. Therefore, even a new owner who acquires a building cannot forcibly enter a tenant’s unit, damage property, or attempt self help eviction measures. This incident illustrates how courts treat such conduct as a breach of tenant security and a criminal trespass offense, particularly when the intrusion disrupts the occupant’s peace and safety.
