Navigating the complexities of residential real estate law in New York requires experienced legal guidance. At Kurzman Eisenberg, our Real Estate Practice Group provides comprehensive legal services for homeowners, buyers, sellers, landlords, and residential developers.

Our Comprehensive Residential Real Estate Services

With a deep understanding of New York’s unique property laws, we help clients manage transactions, resolve disputes, and ensure compliance with state and local regulations.

Residential Buying and Selling

Purchasing or selling a home is a significant financial transaction that requires careful legal oversight. We assist clients with contract negotiations, title reviews, due diligence, and closing procedures, ensuring a smooth process from start to finish.

Our attorneys help buyers understand contingencies, financing terms, and title insurance requirements, while sellers rely on us to draft and negotiate sales contracts that protect their interests.

Landlord-Tenant Law and Lease Agreements

New York has some of the most complex landlord-tenant laws in the country, including strict rent regulation policies and tenant protections. We advise landlords on lease drafting, tenant rights, security deposit laws, eviction procedures, and compliance with local housing codes.

Our team also represents property owners in disputes related to lease violations, nonpayment of rent, and unlawful occupancy.

Cooperative and Condominium Law

New York’s co-op and condo laws require specialized legal knowledge. We assist boards, unit owners, and prospective buyers in understanding their rights and obligations under offering plans, bylaws, and proprietary leases.

Our team advises cooperative and condominium boards on governance, financing, special assessments, and dispute resolution. Additionally, we handle the review and negotiation of co-op board applications and purchase agreements to ensure smooth transactions.

Zoning, Land Use, and Development

Whether building a new residential development or making modifications to an existing property, compliance with New York’s zoning and land use regulations is essential. We guide clients through the permitting process, zoning variances, and environmental impact assessments to ensure their projects move forward without legal obstacles.

Our attorneys also work with developers to structure financing agreements and joint ventures that support long-term investment goals.

Title and Boundary Disputes

Title defects and boundary disputes can complicate residential property ownership. Our team conducts thorough title searches and works to resolve issues such as encroachments, easement conflicts, and adverse possession claims.

We also assist clients in obtaining title insurance to safeguard their investments against future legal challenges.
