Abandonment cases are usually procedural — and documentation is what protects you.

@Sean McKeeHi Sean, in Illinois the attorneys run the show on real estate closings and attorney review is standard procedure.

You’re in NYC, so this is a very procedural area.Tampering with a hallway camera can potentially fall under lease violation, property damage, or possibly a “nuisance” or “substantial breach” argument — but whether it’s immediately eviction-worthy depends heavily on:What your lease says about security devices and property damageWhether actual damage occurredWhether this is part of a pattern of behaviorHow Housing Court views itIn New York, most non-payment cases are straightforward.

If the case was filed strictly for nonpayment, introducing a non-renewal can be seen as switching to a no-fault holdover.MA courts are very technical about this and often require the case to match the notice exactly.Timing of the non-renewal notice matters.If it was served after the eviction was filed, judges frequently require dismissal and refiling.If it was served before filing, sometimes it can be pled correctly from the start.Month-to-month vs. term lease.Since the lease ends Feb 28, issuing a non-renewal prevents an automatic month-to-month rollover, which is smart.But it can conflict procedurally with an active nonpayment case.Judges don’t like mixed theories.MA Housing Court typically wants one clean basis: either nonpayment or expiration of tenancy, not both at once.So yes, in MA it is very common that:• Non-renewal during a pending nonpayment eviction• Forces dismissal• And requires refiling as a holdover after lease expirationThat said, refiling as a holdover after Feb 28 can sometimes be faster and cleaner than fighting procedural issues mid-case.You’re not wrong to question it, but procedurally this is one of those states where doing the “right” thing can still reset the clock.

Is there a state procedure for the disposure of entity assets for an entity that no longer exists? 

A small upfront cost can prevent procedural delays later.Also, don’t wait for payment promises at this point — serve the notice, and if they pay before filing, you can always pause.In eviction cases, speed and proper service matter more than anything.

(that's not proper procedure). 

Some states allow family members to act as custodians under simplified procedures, but Georgia probate law has specific requirements.On the rental side, you mentioned traditional long-term rental barely covers the mortgage.

It is so important to make sure you put together systems and standing operating procedures for a company, even when you're getting started, because if you don't have them as you grow, things will be very unorganized.

So far two of them even tried to get me to pay a $5 per payment fee and it took a god damn CFPB complaint to get them to give me, in writing, a procedure to pay without the per payment fee.
