Synopsis
Tenant sought to vacate a stipulation of settlement and judgment of possession, claiming a lack of understanding due to language barriers and asserting rent stabilization defenses. The court reviewed the stipulation, including a Spanish interpreter, and found no basis to vacate the agreement. However, the tenant's motion was denied. The court stayed eviction for one month, to allow the tenant to vacate the premises with dignity.
