Landlord Substantially Won
Synopsis
Tenant moved to extend the time to vacate an unregulated apartment after failing to locate alternative housing despite holding a CityFHEPS voucher. The court denied the motion, holding that RPAPL § 753 and CPLR § 2201 do not authorize further delay where the parties—each represented by counsel—entered into a clear, final stipulation of settlement after full litigation, and that courts must enforce such stipulations with rigor.
