Synopsis
In this holdover-licensee case, the court dismissed the proceeding after determining that the tenants, despite not being named on the lease, were entitled to succeed to the rent-stabilized tenancy as family members of the prior tenants. The court emphasized the legal right of co-tenants to occupancy independent of each other and the importance of preventing dislocation of long-term residents. The decision underscores the significance of familial relationships and the remedial purpose of succession rights in rent-stabilized housing.
