No Prior Notice Required

LVT Number: 15166

Landlord sued to evict tenant's father after getting a Certificate of Eviction from HPD. Tenant's father claimed pass-on rights to the apartment. He asked the court to dismiss the case without a trial because landlord should have sent him a termination notice before starting the case. The court ruled against tenant's father. HPD had already determined that tenant's father didn't have pass-on rights. So no termination notice was needed. The court ruled for landlord.
