Landlord Can Recover Rent-Stabilized Apartment for Daughter's Use

May 14, 2015

LVT Number: #26146

Landlord sued to evict rent-stabilized tenant in order to recover the unit for use by his daughter. The trial court ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed and lost. The trial court found that landlord was acting in good faith. Tenant's building was located near both the family real estate business where landlord's daughter worked and the residences of landlord's other children. The other children lived in different buildings owned by landlord on the same street. The trial court's decision was based largely on witness credibility and fairly interpreted the evidence.
