What is landlord harassment?
What is landlord tenant harassment?
My section 8 tenant says she is going to sue me for harassment but there is nothing at all that I have done wrong, in fact she is the one harassing me! She actually physically assaulted my wife and curses at my daughters. Is it possible for her to sue me for something that never happened?? What constitutes of this landlord harassment?
This is in NYC
I'm trying to get her evicted since she trespasses and purposely damaged and knocked over my religious items in my garden. And since then she has been causing so much trouble, purposely damaging the apartment and then the verbal and physical assaults, its been getting worse and worse.

The burden of proof is on the prosecution. If your tenant sues you, she (and her attorney) would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that her claims are true. If (as you say) her accusations are complete fabrications, then she will not be able to prove anything in court.
It's quite possible that you have enough grounds to counter-sue her. If she threatens you with legal action again, tell her to speak to your attorney.
Good luck!

I know it is hard to get a tenant evicted in NYC so good luck on that. What kind of harassment is this nut talking about? Is there a landlord tenant court. Be sure to take photos of the interior of that apartment. If tenant files lawsuit in Small Claims court, I suggest you counter-sue for damages and take photos or a video of her trampling in the garden or doing damage.
