Housing Court proceedings — nonpayment, holdover, and HP matters — are among the most common assignments for per diem attorneys. The high volume of cases and frequent adjournments make per diem coverage particularly valuable for firms with active landlord-tenant practices.
Common Housing Court Assignments
- Nonpayment proceedings — appearances for rent arrears cases, including stipulation negotiations
- Holdover proceedings — appearances for lease violation and eviction cases
- HP proceedings — appearances for housing code violation cases
- Stipulation negotiations — negotiating payment plans, cure agreements, and other stipulations
- Traverse hearings — challenging service of process
Why Per Diem Coverage Works for Housing Court
Housing Court calendars are high-volume and often involve long wait times. A per diem attorney can handle your Housing Court calendar while you focus on other matters. Every appearance includes a same-day written report covering outcomes, stipulation terms, new dates, and next steps.
