Landlord-Tenant—Rent Control Tenant Was Not Primary Resident—Substantial Documentation Showed NYC Address, But Tenant Failed To Maintain “Ongoing, Substantial, Physical Nexus” for Actual Living Purposes—Medical Care in Puerto Rico Did Not Establish “Medical Necessity” to Remain in Puerto Rico—Tenant Sublet NYC Apartment

A landlord commenced a holdover proceeding against a rent-control tenant. The landlord alleged that the tenant “does not maintain the subject premises (apartment) as her primary residence.” The tenant owned two homes in Puerto Rico, occupancy of one Puerto Rico home was a condition of mortgage, her “income tax returns…showed that [tenant] took home mortgage tax deductions” with respect to the Puerto Rico homes and had sublet the apartment.
