In their Landlord-Tenant column, Warren A. Estis and Jeffrey Turkel write: Until recently, courts in non-primary residence holdover proceedings turned a blind eye where tenants previously made statements in their tax returns—under penalty of perjury—that contradicted their claims of primary residence.
