Summary
affirming eviction of tenant on the basis of son's actions
Summary of this case from Rucker v. DavisOpinion
October 26, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Nastasi, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The record indicates that the petitioner allowed her son to reside in her apartment as an unauthorized occupant, and that the son sodomized another tenant after forcing her into the petitioner's apartment, and was thereafter convicted of sodomy in the first degree. These acts constituted "violations of a substantial obligation of the terms and conditions of the Lease" which warranted the penalty of eviction ( see, Matter of Cuevas v. Beacon Hous. Auth., 220 A.D.2d 179; Housing Auth. v. Greene, 657 So 2d 552 [La], cert denied 517 U.S. 1169).
