Synopsis

In this holdover proceeding, the landlord erroneously alleged that the tenant, a rent-stabilized tenant, was a licensee. After sanctions were imposed against landlord's counsel, the landlord moved to discontinue the proceeding. The court granted the motion but also issued an Order to Correct outstanding housing code violations and permitted the tenant to amend their answer to include counterclaims, a significant victory for the tenant given the initial flawed legal position of the landlord.
