New York city's landlord tenant law firm



The Law Office of Walter Jennings P.C. prosecutes and defends residential and commercial proceedings in Manhattan, Queens, Bronx and Brooklyn. While we desire to settle matters quickly and successfully negotiate settlements out of court, when necessary, we litigate in Civil and Supreme Court, in the loft board, and in DHCR.


We have expertise in case settlement, the courts, landlord tenant and real estate laws, and how to resolve disputes quickly and efficiently, because we have the experience needed to do so. Walter alone has over 40 years of experience in defending, prosecuting and even creating landlord tenant law. We have kept New Yorkers in their homes when facing eviction, saved tenants millions of dollars in rent increases, reclaimed tenant’s money in overcharges, and obtained buyout money for those tenants wishing to move.



We have represented over 500 rent strikes, thousands of landlords and individual tenants. We have been special counsel for the assembly for the State of New York, are an HDFC recommended firm, and receive high ratings and reviews from our clients. As a family owned and operated small business we strive to treat our clients like family, prioritizing each individual client's needs above all else.
