So my boyfriend had an eviction hearing on November 3rd, the judge issued a warrant of eviction for December 1st, someone dropped off the warrant today but only my boyfriend is listed on the warrant, my son and I are not listed. I’ve been living here for over 4 years, so where do I stand with this?
Hello ****, could you please tell me your location? This will help me provide accurate legal information.

In New York, generally:
- If you're not named in the eviction, it doesn't directly affect you.
- However, you may have to leave if your boyfriend (the tenant) does.
For more specific advice, you should contact a local attorney or legal aid office.
