NYCHA Can Evict Tenant Who Was Arrested for Assault

August 31, 2010

LVT Number: #22849

NYCHA terminated tenant’s lease based on nondesirability after learning she was arrested for assault. NYCHA ruled, after a hearing, that tenant had struck another person on or near NYCHA property. Tenant appealed, claiming that NYCHA’s decision was arbitrary and unreasonable. The court ruled against tenant. NYCHA’s decision was supported by substantial proof and wasn’t shocking, given the offense.
