September 30, 2004

LVT Number: 17613

(Decision submitted by attorney Gary D. Friedman, who represented the landlord.) Landlord sued to evict tenant's granddaughter from a project-based Section 8 apartment after tenant died. The granddaughter claimed that she had lived with tenant and was entitled to pass-on rights. The court ruled for landlord. Tenant didn't name granddaughter on her annual income recertifications, and never sought landlord's approval to add the granddaughter as a family member on family composition filings.
