Tenant Illegally Sublet for One Month
LVT Number: 17198
Landlord sued to evict rent-stabilized tenant for profiteering based on tenant's unauthorized one-month sublet. The court ruled against landlord. Landlord appealed and lost. The sublease had ended before landlord sent tenant a notice to cure, and tenant refunded the overcharge to subtenant shortly after landlord started the eviction case. Tenant's conduct didn't warrant eviction.
