Providing Legal Services for Landlords and Property Owners

The Law Office of Matthew Aqeel protects landlords, property owners, and real estate investors in Westchester County and the Bronx. We handle evictions, closings, small claims, building violations, trusts and estates, and civil litigation. Our goal is simple: protect your property and your income.


We serve Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Upper Westchester, and the Bronx. Other attorneys call us when landlord cases get complicated. You get direct answers and results.

Landlord-Tenant Disputes

In New York landlords can evict in two ways: non-payment and holdover summary proceedings. A non-payment case is filed when rent is overdue. A holdover case applies when the lease has expired or when the tenant is a nuisance, unauthorized, or squatting. We represent landlords in Housing Court and Supreme Court to recover rent and remove problem tenants quickly and lawfully. 

Landlord Tenant Disputes

Small Claims

Small claims court in Westchester County resolves disputes up to $5,000 fast and at low cost. Typical cases include unpaid rent, property damage, security deposit issues, or contractor disputes. We file your claim, prepare evidence, and present a strong case so you recover what is owed.

Small Claims

Property Transactions

 A New York real estate closing is the last step in buying or selling property. Local rules and dense contracts require careful legal review. We guide first-time buyers, seasoned investors, and sellers from contract to closing to protect your interests and keep deals on track.

Property transactions
