Winner

Tenant Substantially Won

Synopsis

The court dismissed the landlord's holdover proceeding, finding the tenant established succession rights to the rent-stabilized apartment. The tenant credibly demonstrated co-residency with the former tenant for the statutory period and presented sufficient evidence to prove an emotional and financial commitment, fulfilling the Rent Stabilization Code's definition of a "family member." The landlord's attempts to rebut the tenant's primary residence claim were unsuccessful.
