Landlord Didn't Prove Tenant Was Nonprimary Resident
LVT Number: 16072
Landlord sued to evict rent-stabilized tenant for nonprimary residence. The court ruled against landlord. Landlord appealed and lost. The trial court's interpretation of the evidence was fair. And by itself, tenant's failure to file a New York City resident tax return wasn't the deciding factor in the case.
