Scott E. Mollen, a partner at Herrick, Feinstein, discusses three landlord-tenant cases: 'U.S. v. 111 E. 88th Partners,' involving an apartment building's no-dog rule where the landlord's attorney was seen as a co-decisionmaker as to permission for the tenant to have a support dog thus waving the privilege;  'Cashew Holdings v. Thorpe-Poyser,' where the court held the landlord may not collect rent when the building lacked a certificate of occupancy, and 'WFCC Realty v. Lin,' where it was held that landlords must still establish substantial rehabilitation by adequate documentation even though such requirements were relaxed under DHCR's Operational Bulletin 95-2.
