The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that under Section 232-c of the Real Property Law a holdover tenancy is not created when the landlord does not accept rent, limiting the landlord's remedy to eviction and damages, and rejecting a nonpayment of rent action where no tenancy exists.
