Tenant's Son Had No Right to Challenge Notice

May 31, 1999

LVT Number: 13276

Landlord sued to evict the administrator of tenant's estate and tenant's son after rent-stabilized tenant died. Tenant's son claimed pass-on rights to the apartment. Landlord settled with the estate administrator, who admitted it had no pass-on rights to the apartment. Tenant's son continued to argue that landlord's case was defective because landlord hadn't delivered an eviction notice to the estate administrator. The court ruled against tenant's son.
