Postponements and Rent Deposits. In court, you can ask to postpone your case. You have a right to
postpone the case for at least 14 days. If your case is not finished in 60 days or you ask to postpone
the case again, the court can order you to deposit money in court or make a rent payment to the
landlord. If you don’t do this, your case may go to trial right away. RPAPL Sec. 745.
After Judgment. If the court orders a judgment against you after a trial, the court may give you time to
move. After that time is up, you will get a Notice of Eviction from a Marshal giving you at least 14 days
to leave. If you don’t leave, you will be evicted by the Marshal. RPAPL Sec. 749(2).
