Sonia Rosario, Respondents, Plaintiffs v. Diagonal Realty, LLC, Appellants, Defendants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed that a landlord’s acceptance of federal Section 8 rent subsidy is a term and condition of a lease that must be continued on a renewal lease under the Rent Stabilization Code, and held that 42 U.S.C. § 1437f does not preempt a rent‑stabilized tenant’s right to such a renewal lease.
