Synopsis

In this case, the landlord sought to evict the tenant claiming that the tenant's occupancy as a licensee ended with the prior tenant's death. However, the court ruled that the tenant qualified for succession rights under the Rent Stabilization Code, emphasizing that the absence from income recertifications did not bar succession, thus dismissing the landlord's holdover petition.
