Eviction of Building Super Delayed During Labor Dispute

LVT Number: 12580

Landlord sued to evict the building super from his rent-free apartment after his employment was terminated. The super asked the court to delay the case. He was a union employee and had filed an unfair labor practices complaint with the National Labor Relations Board shortly after being terminated. The court ruled for the super. Whether landlord could evict the super depended on the outcome of the labor dispute, and the super could be permanently harmed by being evicted before that.
