Synopsis
In this licensee holdover proceeding, the landlord obtained a judgment and warrant of eviction, leading to the tenant's eviction. The tenant subsequently filed a post-eviction Order to Show Cause seeking restoration, citing medical issues that impacted her ability to litigate and potential eligibility for HRA assistance. Balancing the equities, the court granted the tenant's motion under RPAPL § 749(3), ordering immediate restoration to possession. The re-execution of the warrant was stayed, conditioned upon the tenant's payment of stipulated rent arrears, plus marshal and legal fees, despite the landlord's strong objection.
