Court Won't Order Landlord to Offer Renewal Lease to Tenant

LVT Number: 11805

(Decision submitted by Manhattan attorney Bruce Levinson, attorney for the landlord.) Tenant sued landlord, seeking an order directing landlord to offer tenant a rent-stabilized renewal lease. The court ruled against tenant. Before tenant can get an order directing landlord to offer a renewal lease, landlord must have a chance to answer the complaint. Then either a trial will be required to determine the facts or tenant can ask the court to rule in its favor without a trial if there's no question of fact.
