?? Sherwin Belkin: A Voice for Landlords in the Wake of Rent Law Challenges ?? In Grace Dixon’s insightful Law360 article, "After High Court Snubs, What's Next For NY Rent Law Cases?", Sherwin Belkin, co-founding partner of Belkin Burden Goldman LLP, shares his perspective on the future of New York’s rent regulation battles. ????? Despite the Supreme Court declining to review challenges to the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act (HSTPA), Belkin remains optimistic about finding the right case to bring change: "You now have two justices of the Supreme Court on the record indicating that they are receptive to rent stabilization being examined by the Supreme Court," Belkin said. "With a 6-3 conservative majority, I am optimistic that there will be an appropriate case where two more justices will see their way clear to granting cert so that the full bench can hear the case." Belkin’s analysis highlights the need for more concrete examples of harm suffered by property owners to successfully challenge these tenant-friendly laws. His dedication to advocating for landlords in a shifting legal landscape makes him a trusted authority in this complex area of real estate law. ?? ??

Walsh), she recounts her harrowing experience with a fraudulent tenant who wreaked havoc on her NoHo loft—tearing down walls and leaving a trail of destruction. Amid the chaos, one person stood out as a beacon of hope: BBG Partner, David Skaller. ???? Seggerman highlights Skaller’s fierce advocacy for the prior landlord of the tenant: "My lawyer, David Skaller, is a bit of an animal," [the prior landlord of the tenant] tells me, and I'm envious said Seggerman. With his unmatched experience and relentless drive, Skaller helped the prior landlord of the tenant navigate the legal nightmare and reclaim control of the property. ??? ?? Read the full story to see how Skaller’s unwavering dedication makes the difference. #Curbed #NYRealEstate #RealEstateLaw #Landlords

Sherwin Belkin, Co-Founder of Belkin · Burden · Goldman, LLP, shared his insights on this Law360 article involving NY’s new "Good Cause" eviction law, highlighting confusion over lease renewals and rent caps. He criticized a recent court decision, noting the law doesn’t define non-renewal as “curable” by tenants. Additionally, Sherwin Belkin emphasized the need for clarity on the annual 8.82% rent cap, with courts or lawmakers likely needing to step in. #NYRealEstate #GoodCauseEviction #Law360
