LANDLORD BROUGHT EJECTMENT CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST RENT REGULATED TENANT FOR RENTING TO AIRBNB CUSTOMERS, THE EJECTMENT CAUSE OF ACTION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DISMISSED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, modifying Supreme Court, determined there was no basis to dismiss the ejectment cause of action which was based upon the rent-regulated tenant’s renting to Airbnb customers:

​

Plaintiff seeks to eject defendants based on their having illegally sublet rooms in their loft through the Airbnb website to numerous individuals, over a period of about two years, resulting in profits well in excess of the legal regulated rent. It is well settled that, when regulated tenants rent space on a short-term basis to transient individuals at rates higher than allowed by applicable regulations, that conduct is “in the nature of subletting rather than taking in roommates, and constitute[s] profiteering and commercialization of the premises,” which is an “incurable violation” … . Defendants do not dispute that tenants regulated pursuant to the Loft Law also are subject to eviction for profiteering … .

Since the alleged conduct is incurable, no notice to cure is required … . As for the adequacy of the predicate notice of termination, plaintiff served a notice under the terms of the expired lease, which carried over into the statutory tenancy and governed the amount of notice required when the tenant violates a substantial obligation of his tenancy or is alleged to have engaged in illegal conduct … . Aurora Assoc. LLC v Hennen, 2018 NY Slip Op 00465, First Dept 1-25-18
