Q. I rent a top-floor apartment in a three-family home, and my landlord is going to replace the roof. He says I will have to vacate the apartment and take all of my belongings while the roof is being replaced.
What are my rights? Who pays for the cost of moving and storing my stuff and the much more expensive rent I'll probably have to pay while the roof is being fixed?

Tomorrow marks the start of 'heat season' in NYC, meaning that if it's cold outside, you have a right to be warm inside.
The very fact-packed press release we received from the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development this morning notes that this year, neglectful building owners will find themselves in more hot water than ever due to a law recently passed by City Council: If the city has to fix a heat problem itself (say, by replacing your boiler), it gets to place a lien against the building, which can then be auctioned off.
