Landlord Didn't Prove Tenant Violated Lease or Court Order

LVT Number: #24193

Landlord sued to evict tenant, claiming that tenant hadn't signed a renewal lease, had allowed her son to live in the apartment in violation of an order of protection landlord had gotten, and had failed to provide access to the apartment in violation of a court order. The trial court ruled against landlord, who appealed and lost. The court fairly interpreted the evidence, and landlord failed to prove his claims.
