Question of Fact Whether Former Tenants Entitled to Pass Apartment to Their Son Under the Rent Stabilization Law

The First Department determined there was a question of fact whether former tenants had stopped using their apartment as a primary residence, or whether they had permanently vacated the apartment. Under the terms of an agreement (Settlement Agreement), if the former tenants had permanently vacated the apartment, they were entitled to pass the apartment to their son, who had been living there most of his life. If, on the other hand, the former tenants merely stopped using the apartment as their primary residence, they could not pass the apartment to their son. The former tenants had moved to Uganda, where they had a home. They returned to New York every year to visit and used the apartment during the visits:

Although the parents no longer have rights to the apartment, there are still disputed issues of fact regarding whether at the time the parents moved to Uganda, they permanently vacated the apartment or continued to use the apartment as nonprimary residents. This issue and disputed facts directly affect the son’s right (if any) to a successor tenancy. If the parents permanently vacated, then the son would have rights as a successor. If, however, the parents continued to use the apartment as non-primary residents, the son’s claim would fail This issue precludes the grant of summary judgment to either side on the issue of whether the son has successor rights.  Waterside Plaza Ground Lessee, LLC v Rwambuya, 2015 NY Slip Op 06867, 1st Dept 9-22-15
