Teeval Co., Inc., Landlord v. Edwin H. Stern, Jr., Tenant, Respondent F. T. B. Realty Corporation, Landlord v. Louis…

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals upheld the constitutionality of the State rent control statute that froze rents at March 1, 1949 levels, but struck down Section 13-a of that statute as beyond the Legislature's power. The court affirmed the landlord's right to collect rent arrears for the period October 1949 through April 1950, while denying recovery for May 1950. The judgment in Teeval Co., Inc. v. Stern was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
