The Ultimate Guide to Advising on Short-Term Rentals: Zoning Conflicts, Tenant Protections, LLC Formation, Tax Exposure, and Regulatory Defense

Mr. Treiman earned his Juris Doctor from St. John's University School of Law and his Bachelor's Degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He has also received certificates from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and, "With Distinction," from Princeton Theological Seminary. A lifelong student of language, Mr. Treiman has studied fourteen languages and is strongly conversant in several — a foundation that informs his precision in legal drafting and his unusual command of the interpretive nuance so often at the heart of landlord-tenant disputes.

Mr. Treiman's contributions to the profession have earned him some of the most enduring forms of recognition available to a practicing attorney. He has been featured in Who's Who in American Business, Who's Who in American Law, and Who's Who in America; has been designated "Superb" by AVVO; and has been repeatedly recognized as a Super Lawyer. Perhaps the most telling measure of his standing, however, is that the State of New York commissioned him to produce special chambers editions of several of his works for use by each of the state's 51 Housing Judges — a distinction that places his scholarship at the core of how New York's housing courts function. He has also been retained by LexisNexis to author Practical Advice on Residential Landlord-Tenant Proceedings in New York, and his writings are regularly cited as authority in judicial decisions and by other legal commentators.

Mr. Treiman is a highly sought-after lecturer on landlord-tenant law and has been retained by most of the major providers of Continuing Legal Education in New York State. He serves as Chair of the Board of Advisors of the Apartment Law Insider and previously served as the principal consultant to The New York Times on landlord-tenant matters. He is the Founding Editor of Landlord Tenant Monthly and a prolific contributor to publications including the New York Law Journal and the Landlord-Tenant Practice Reporter. His editorial portfolio includes The Housing Court Reporter (24 volumes), Treiman's Commentaries (3 volumes), Treiman's New York Landlord Tenant Statutes Annotated (3 volumes), Treiman's Rent Stabilization Code Annotated (3 volumes), Treiman's Trial Manual, Treiman's Encyclopedia and Dictionary (2 volumes), Treiman's Leading Cases (2 volumes), The Loft Board Reporter (18 volumes), The New York City Administrative Law Reporter (3 volumes), and Landlord Tenant Appellate Reporter (7 volumes), among others. Of these, The Housing Court Reporter stands as the standard reference — used by all New York City courts and by quality practitioners throughout the field to search more than 50,000 cases for applicable precedent.

Before devoting his principal professional time to the scholarship that has come to define his career, Mr. Treiman spent fifteen years in private practice — foundational experience that continues to inform the practical, court-tested sensibility evident in his writing and litigation work. Since joining Adam Leitman Bailey, P.C. as a partner in 2006, he has built a practice that combines high-stakes landlord-tenant civil litigation with the authorship and ongoing maintenance of the reference works on which the New York bar depends. Mr. Treiman is a principal author of most of the standard form leases and related documents in use throughout the New York City area, and he has developed customized versions of many of these documents to meet the specific needs of the firm's clients. In addition to his legal scholarship, he has authored several books on non-legal topics, both fiction and non-fiction — reflecting the breadth of intellectual curiosity he brings to every aspect of his work. He works closely alongside his husband, firm administrator Tom Treiman, on numerous firm projects.
