Synopsis
The landlord filed an action to collect unpaid rent from two alleged tenants of a rent-stabilized apartment. The court denied the landlord's motion for default judgment and dismissed claims against one defendant who had died before the case was filed. For the other defendant, the court found the landlord failed to establish she was a tenant or owed rent. The landlord was given 30 days to provide proper documentation or the entire case would be dismissed, significantly hindering the landlord's ability to collect the claimed rent.
