Synopsis
The landlord initiated a holdover proceeding against the tenant, claiming that the tenant's license to occupy the apartment had terminated upon the death of the tenant of record. The tenant defended the proceeding by asserting that she was entitled to succeed to the tenancy pursuant to the Rent Stabilization Code. The court denied the landlord's motion for partial summary judgment, finding that the tenant's right to succeed to the tenancy was not extinguished by the terms of a prior stipulation and was protected by the Rent Stabilization Law and Code.
