New York Landlord Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (New York Landlord Kit, New York Small Claims Kit, Eviction Case File Organizer)

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in New York: the state's rules, a small claims case for unpaid rent or damage, and an eviction case file if it comes to that.

Not the right fit if

Your rentals aren't in New York, or you only need one of the kits. Not a property management or legal service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The New York kits are built only from our New York data files: New York data files, checked November 2026 against 10 official pages, among them New York State Senate: General Obligations Law 7-108; New York State Senate: General Obligations Law 7-103; New York State Attorney General: Residential Tenants' Rights Guide; New York State Unified Court System: Evicting a Tenant; New York State Unified Court System: Being Evicted; New York State Unified Court System, 6th Judicial District: City Court Summary Proceedings (Evictions); New York small claims data file, checked November 2026 against NY Courts: A Guide to Small Claims & Commercial Small Claims in City, Town & Village Courts (updated Aug 2024); NYC Civil Court: Instructions for Filing (Small Claims/Commercial Claims); NYC Civil Court: Fees.
• Eviction Case File Organizer covers every state; the New York kits carry the state rules.
