Sued while on ventilator

A Bronx landlord clinging to life thanks to COVID-19 was slapped with two lawsuits over a $23,000 high-interest loan he was forced to take out during the pandemic-related rent moratorium, a lawsuit says.

Lender Premier Capital Funding LLC is hunting down Jeffrey Schneider — who has been hospitalized on life support since November — to repay $58,000 for the loan he took out in May through his company, Remie Realty Corp., according to court papers filed by Schneider’s wife, Cindy.

Schneider, the landlord of a rent-controlled building in The Bronx, sought the $23,000 lifeline when his struggling tenants stopped paying rent, the filing says.

He paid $25,000 of the $35,750 he owed on the loan before coronavirus all but killed him.

“This debt that started out with the merchant [Remie] receiving $23,000 has now exploded into an $85,000 debt,” Schneider family lawyer Ashlee Colonna Cohen told The Post.

Premier sued in Brooklyn Supreme Court in December and then in Manhattan Supreme Court for another $20,000, the attorney said.

Premier’s lawyer didn’t respond to a request for comment.
