Synopsis
Tenants sued their landlord for harassment, poor living conditions, and other issues. The court dismissed some parts of their claims but allowed most to proceed, including claims for constructive eviction, trespass, and nuisance. The court also denied the landlord's counterclaims for unpaid rent, finding they depend on the outcome of the tenants' claims about poor conditions. Key legal points: tenants can pursue claims for holdover-nuisance even if they remain in the apartment, and a landlord's counterclaim for unpaid rent may be impacted by the tenant's claims about poor living conditions.
