[lian22]

My fiancee signed a new lease for our apartment behind my back. He told the landlord I moved out when I didn't. Now he wants me to move out. Our old lease expired in May and the landlord never got around to the new one. I do have the original one. I want to stay here. Do I have any legal recourse? I am in NY
Th original lease states that after March 21, 2012, the agreement is terminated. It also says it goes month to month after that time. But I did agree verbally on the phone to sign a new lease with my landlord about a month ago.

What has your landlord said about it?

You do not have to leave. Simply inform your landlord that you never moved and do not intend to. If the landlord wants you out you will have to be evicted. You are not automatically forced out by not signing the new lease.

I don't think he still plans on getting married to you.
