TENANT’S MOTHER HAD SUCCESSION RIGHTS TO A RENT STABILIZED APARTMENT PURSUANT TO THE RENT STABILIZATION CODE AND PUBLIC HOUSING LAW, NYS DIVISION OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY RENEWAL HAD MISINTERPRETED THE APPLICABLE CODE PROVISION (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Hall, determined the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) misinterpreted the Rent Stabilization Code when it found that the tenant’s (Scherley’s) mother (Marie) did not have succession rights in a rent stabilized apartment. Mare had lived in the apartment with Scherley since 2003. Scherley was the named tenant on the lease and Marie was listed as an occupant. Scherley moved out in 2008 when she got married but she continued to pay the rent, executed a renewal lease, and Marie continued to live there:

​

We can discern no reason why the DHCR would intend to deny succession rights to a family member who had been residing in a unit for a long period of time merely because there was a period of time when the named tenant no longer resided there but still maintained some connection to the property. In this case, it is undisputed that Marie would have been entitled to succession if she had sought it immediately after her daughter moved out of the apartment in 2008. We see no rational reason to treat her differently solely because the named tenant later executed a renewal lease and continued to pay the rent while no longer residing there. We thus conclude that this was not the intent of the DHCR in promulgating the regulation. Matter of Jourdain v New York State Div. of Hous. & Community Renewal, 2018 NY Slip Op 00556, Second Dept 1-31-18
