Synopsis
In this non-primary residence holdover proceeding, the court dismissed the petition, ruling in favor of the tenant. The tenant successfully asserted a defense of succession rights, demonstrating a long-term emotionally-committed relationship with the former tenant. The court applied the criteria established in Braschi v Stahl Assocs. Co. and emphasized the importance of evaluating the totality of the relationship rather than relying solely on formal financial documents.
