Landlord Properly Evicted Apartment Visitor

March 29, 2017

LVT Number: #27586

Tenant’s visitor sued landlord, claiming that she was unlawfully evicted from tenant’s apartment. The court ruled against the visitor, who appealed and lost. The visitor was a mere licensee and not protected from eviction without legal process. The visitor also wasn’t a “known occupant” of the apartment who was listed in tenant’s required filings as a household member. The visitor was required to sign in on the visitor’s log each time she sought access to tenant’s apartment.
