Tenant's Daughter Can't Get NYCHA Apartment

May 12, 2012

LVT Number: #24087

NYCHA tenant's daughter sought pass-on rights to tenant's apartment after tenant died. NYCHA ruled against the daughter, who appealed and lost. The daughter moved into the apartment without the written permission of the housing manager or other authorization, and had lived there for less than one year before tenant died. The daughter's health, finances, or the fact that she paid rent or use and occupancy didn't matter.
