Tenant-rights advice for Noel in Rochester: a short consultation
Noel is dealing with a withheld security deposit and needs someone who knows the law in New York to explain the options.
🇺🇸 Rochester, New York, United States346 views
My landlord in Rochester has given me a withheld security deposit. I've read what I can online, but the rules are confusing and different sources contradict each other.
I'm hoping that someone with experience in housing or tenant rights in New York could spare 20-30 minutes to explain the process, the deadlines and the documents I should collect.
I have my lease, all communications and photos organized. I'm happy to share them privately. I can't pay for a lawyer, so any guidance on free services in New York would also be appreciated.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Medellín.
thanks for sharing this, Noel. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Praying for you, Noel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Noel. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Burnaby.
This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Rochester.
