Tenant's Testimony Not Believable

July 31, 2002

LVT Number: 16001

Landlord sued to evict rent-stabilized tenant for nonprimary residence. The court ruled for landlord after a trial. Tenant appealed and lost. The court found landlord's witnesses believable but didn't believe tenant's testimony. It was full of contradictions. The court's decision was supported by the weight of the evidence, including tax returns, automobile registration, and bank and credit card records all listing an upstate house as tenant's address.
