Motion Granted for Landlord

Winner

Landlord Substantially Won

Synopsis

The Appellate Division affirmed the denial of the tenant's motion for a preliminary injunction to prevent the sale of co-op shares or termination of the proprietary lease. The court found the tenant failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits, primarily by not proving the landlord breached the warranty of habitability; cited violations were largely corrected, and the tenant denied access for repairs. Furthermore, the notice to cure was deemed valid. As the tenant defaulted on the loan agreement, the landlord was permitted under UCC § 9-610[a] to sell the shares or terminate the lease.
