Challenge Fraudulent Rent Judgment

Summary

If a landlord falsified rent amounts and won a judgment, you can challenge it by filing a motion to vacate based on fraud or misrepresentation. Gather evidence such as communication records, witness statements, and bank statements to support your case. Since you paid in cash and had no lease agreement, these documents can help establish a pattern of regular payments. Consulting with a landlord-tenant attorney in New York can provide further guidance on how to proceed with your appeal and present your evidence effectively.

We already filed an appeal, how can we prove she lied. We always paid in cash and had no lease agreement.
To prove she lied without receipts or a lease agreement, you could:

- Provide bank statements showing cash withdrawals.
