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
pay the judgment and not be evicted. After that time is up, you will get a Notice of Eviction from a
Marshal giving you at least 14 days to pay all the rent due or move. If you don’t pay or move, you will be
evicted by the Marshal. RPAPL Sec. 749(2).
