What Happened: While laws banning landlords from harassing tenants are common in residential settings, New York is one of the few states that extends this protection to commercial tenants. A small landscaping business owner claimed that her landlord crossed the line by filing three different eviction lawsuits against her in the course of a year, even though she did nothing wrong and paid the rent on time each month. The court agreed and ordered the landlord to pay the tenant $19,509 in damages.
