Yes. There may be a different channel of communication if either party retained legal counsel.

No, they can communicate period. However, IF either the LL or the tenant, or both, retain legal counsel to handle the eviction then any communication thereafter usually goes through the attorney(s). What's the situation in this case which prompted the question?

Default that might be true

I think in NY when you have a lease a landlord is not allowed to personally deliver the tenant either a notice or court papers they have to have a personal representative deliver the notice i think there are 3 ways to deliver it (but I don't remember what they are)

How did you come upon this information or what would give you the idea that communication isn't advisable, although its usually not necessary.

There may be an issue that needs immediate correction. Let me give you some examples; lets say this is a complex that has asigned parking and the tenant thats been filed on takes another tenants space or a window is broken at no fault of the tenant that needs immediate replacing or the tenant above them leaves the water running and floods out a portion of their apartment. These would all be reasons for contact.

Any discussions on the actual eviction aren't necessary and anything needed to be said can be done during the court hearing. However, when I worked in the industry we did accept past due rental payments from a couple of in arears residents that had been filed on, with the Reservation of Rights, meaning, we could accept their payments without dropping the filed evcition. Really depends on laws in your state.
