STAHL ASSOCIATES LLC v. Cataldo

Synopsis

In this non-primary residence holdover proceeding, the court addressed the landlord's motion and the tenant's cross-motion for discovery. The court granted the landlord's request for discovery concerning the tenant's residency, but limited the scope of document production to the most recent lease term. Concurrently, the court granted the tenant's cross-motion for discovery related to their defense of excusable absence due to uninhabitable apartment conditions, citing ample need based on the tenant's showing. However, the tenant's request for discovery on illegal subletting and depositions was denied without prejudice. The case was marked off-calendar for discovery completion.
