LVT Number: 14220

Landlord sued to evict loft tenant's sister after loft tenant moved out. The sister claimed that she was entitled to pass-on rights. The court ruled for landlord. Tenant's sister appealed and lost. There was some question as to whether pass-on rights existed under the Loft Law. But even if there were pass-on rights, tenant's sister didn't prove that she had lived in the loft with tenant for two years before tenant moved out.
