Protect Your Property, Enforce Your Lease, Defend Your Position

Galli Law, PLLC represents landlords and property owners who need decisive action. When rent is not being paid, a tenant will not leave, or a tenant dispute is escalating, your strategy and your documentation matter. We move quickly, stay procedural, and keep the focus on results: possession, compliance, and reduced risk.

We handle evictions, defense of NY RPL 7-D tenant petitions, lease drafting and negotiation, and a wide range of landlord issues across New York. We represent landlords only.

Where we bring value

Landlord-tenant matters are won on preparation, compliance, and timing. We build the record the right way from day one, so you can reduce avoidable delay and protect your ability to enforce your lease and house rules.

  • Court-Ready Documentation

    We focus on notices, proof, and filings that hold up, so your matter moves forward instead of restarting.

  • Habitability Defense Strategy

    When tenants allege habitability issues, we help you respond quickly, document conditions, and defend against rent abatements and repair orders.

  • Lease and Risk Strategy

    We draft and negotiate leases with enforcement in mind, so your remedies are clear and your risk is reduced.

  • Business-Minded Resolutions

    When settlement or a move-out agreement makes sense, we structure terms that protect you and can be enforced.

Core landlord matters

Evictions and summary proceedings

We represent landlords in eviction matters, including nonpayment and holdover proceedings. We help you evaluate the facts, select the right procedural path, prepare predicate notices, and prosecute the case through possession and enforcement.

If a tenant is damaging the property, creating a nuisance, violating occupancy terms, or refusing to comply with lease obligations, we build a clear record and pursue the remedy that best protects your asset.

Defense of NY RPL 7-D tenant petitions

Tenants sometimes file NY RPL 7-D petitions alleging habitability issues and seeking court orders for repairs and rent abatements. We defend landlords in these proceedings, focusing on fast response, documentation, access issues, repair history, and practical resolution.

We help you organize records, coordinate inspections when appropriate, present your compliance efforts, and contest overstated claims so you can protect cash flow and avoid unnecessary abatements.

Lease drafting, negotiation, and enforcement

A lease should be a tool, not a liability. We draft, review, and negotiate residential and commercial leases with a focus on enforceability, clarity, and practical remedies. We also help with renewals, addenda, guaranties, and house rules that match your management style.

When disputes arise, we enforce lease provisions through notices, negotiated resolutions, and litigation when required.

Ongoing landlord counsel and problem properties

Landlord issues rarely appear one at a time. We advise on tenant disputes, payment plans, move-out agreements, access and inspection issues, security deposit disputes, and operational policies that reduce repeat problems.

If you manage multiple units or properties, we can help you standardize documents and procedures so your portfolio stays protected.

If you need to regain possession, defend a habitability petition, or tighten up your lease documents, we can help. Start the eviction intake or contact us to discuss a landlord-focused strategy.
