Kantar Investment v. Giacchetto
(Civ. Ct. N.Y. Cty. 7/29/99)
Sub-landlord in coop was granted summary judgment in residential holdover case where subtenant held over after expiration of sublease. Residential tenant’s general affirmative defense based on lack of personal jurisdiction was struck because it was not based on any specific factual allegation. Landlord was permitted to amend petition to reflect that petitioner is a foreign corporation licensed to do business in New York. Individual apartment owners of an apartment/loft are not required to register a building as a multiple dwelling, nor plead the multiple dwelling status. A person who sublets a dwelling unit from a purchaser shall not be deemed a non-purchasing tenant. Link to Full Text of Decision
