Tenant Moved in Before 1950

LVT Number: 9537

Landlord appealed a DHCR ruling that tenant was rent-controlled. The court and appeals court ruled against landlord and upheld the DHCR's finding. The DHCR had a rational basis for its factual finding that tenant had lived in landlord's two-story house prior to 1950. She was, therefore, subject to rent control.
