Rent-Controlled Tenant's Daughter Gets Apartment

June 30, 1995

LVT Number: 9827

Landlord sued to evict rent-controlled tenant's daughter. The court ruled for the daughter and landlord appealed. The appeals court ruled against landlord. The daughter admittedly lived somewhere else with her mother when her father's (the tenant) statutory tenancy ended in 1974. But she then moved into the apartment and was there until at least 1987. The daughter was a family member entitled to pass-on rights.
