Rent-Stabilized Tenant Can't Add Son to Parking Space Lease

Rent-stabilized tenant filed a lease violation complaint. Tenant claimed that landlord refused to offer a renewal lease for parking spaces on the same terms and conditions as contained in the expiring parking space leases. Tenant also claimed her son should be added to the parking space leases. The DRA ruled for tenant, finding that landlord never answered the complaint. Landlord appealed and won, in part. Landlord showed by mailing receipts that it had, in fact, answered the complaint. The DRA properly directed landlord to renew tenant's parking space lease on the same terms and conditions as her prior lease. But tenant's son wasn't a tenant. As an occupant of tenant's apartment, he wasn't entitled to have his name added to the parking space lease.
