w in NY to treat for this, and that you are withholding rent in an "escrow account" until he provides the legally required treatment. Basically, just don't pay your rent, if he wants to evict you, he can't without going through proper court steps, fortunately the law is on our side in these matters. No matter what he threatens or says, it is illegal for him to take any actions against you. Make a copy of your lease, keep it on you or in your office, whatever, in case, he does try something illegal, like changing locks, etc, you can call the cops, you just need to prove you live there(your lease). Otherwise, he's sacrewed until he treats this problem. Unfortunately if he doesn't treat the whole building, they will keep coming back. I withheld rent, and made my landlord sign a written form that released us from our lease because i knew the cheap ass wasn't gonna take the necessary steps. We left just about everything behind or put it in storage, i was not risking taking these vampires w/us. Good Luck.
