Synopsis
Tenants failed to maintain the premises as their primary residence, breaching the lease agreement. The court found that under rent stabilization laws, a primary residence must be occupied continuously, which the tenant failed to demonstrate. Thus, the landlord's motion for eviction was granted based on non-primary residence grounds, resulting in judgment for the landlord.
