I need a lawyer familiar with Suffolk County, NY State landlord tenant law. I have a property in Shirley rented to the same woman since 2011. She has an annual lease that runs from October 15 to October 14. The lease states that she must give 3 months' notice to not renew or break the lease. On March 22, she informed me she can no longer pay rent due to her son moving out. She has paid rent to April 14 and is obstructive about allowing a realtor to show the place. Is she allowed to deny access? Can I write a letter warning eviction if she doesn't move out? Do I have to wait to see if she moves out before evicting? If I re-rent, does her responsibility for rent end?

I filed multiple complaints in Palm Beach County Florida and with the Florida Department of Financial Service (FDFS) regarding violations of the Florida Whistleblower's Act, breach of contract, due process under USC 1983, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The FDFS has not responded, and the defendants have been filing motions to dismiss without setting them for a hearing. The docket shows a fourth amended complaint, but defendants filed a motion to dismiss a fifth amended complaint that is not on the docket. Defendants have also refused to submit to a deposition. What should I do about the motion to dismiss the fifth amended complaint, and should I also file a motion for default on the fourth amended complaint?

We sold an oven on Craigslist in Oregon that was 9 years old but only used for six months. The buyer agreed to the sale and later discovered a non-working burner and termite damage. We agreed to give him $50 for repairs, and he accepted. Now, he is suing us in small claims court. Do we have a case to win?
