Landlord Wasn't Required to Send Termination Notice to Tenant's Husband

November 21, 2014

LVT Number: #25862

Landlord sued to evict tenant for nonprimary residence. Tenant and her husband asked the court to dismiss the case because landlord hadn't served a copy of its lease termination notice on the husband. The court ruled against tenant, who appealed and lost. The Rent Stabilization Code requires that only tenant, who was a party to the lease agreement with landlord, must be served with the notice of lease nonrenewal and termination. Landlord didn't have to send copies of the notice to another occupant, even if it was tenant's husband.
