Judge Finds that Tenant Failed to Provide Access and Therefore Landlord has no Duty to Make Repairs
Tenant claimed that she deserved rent abatement for 6 full months due to conditions in her apartment. Tenant was a graduate of Columbia University and was very well spoken, charming and tenacious. She had collected over 2 dozen photos showing alleged evidence of alleged needed repairs and mouse droppings, as well as pictures of dead rodents and roaches. Tenant would not allow normal access for the exterminator and refused to sign off on repairs being made. She claimed that the apartment was so unlivable that she had to temporarily move out.
Adam Leitman Bailey, P.C had recently been hired by one of Manhattan’s largest landlords, and the firm immediately smelled trouble upon hearing the facts. It was obvious that tenant’s goal was to avoid paying rent and her actions made it appear that she knew the “system”.
