Synopsis
In a holdover proceeding after lease expiration, the tenant facing eviction due to non-payment and holdover was granted a temporary stay of eviction. The court considered the tenant's hardship, including the recent death of a child, while acknowledging the landlord's financial burden. This case highlights that even in holdover cases, courts weigh hardships of both parties when issuing eviction stays.
