Relative in Tenant Interim Lease Building Can't Get Pass-On Rights

December 1, 1999

LVT Number: 13713

Landlord sued to evict tenant's family member after tenant died. The family member claimed pass-on rights to the apartment. Landlord claimed that tenant didn't have pass-on rights. Tenant had lived in the building under HPD's Tenant Interim Lease Program. The court ruled for landlord. HPD's regulations didn't provide for pass-on rights under the Tenant Interim Lease Program. And tenants under this program aren't subject to the Rent Stabilization Law, so the pass-on provisions of that law can't be applied.
