WASN'T GOING TO GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE?

After the New York City Housing Authority denied Melissa M.’s request to succeed her late grandmother’s tenancy rights, she sought relief from the New York County Supreme Court -- which transferred the case to the Appellate Division, First Department.

Since Melissa's occupancy had been terminated back in 2005--upon her grandmother's submission of a Notice of Intent to Vacate and notarized letter which reinforced that Melissa had left the household--Melissa wasn’t able to show an entitlement to succession “as a remaining family member.”

(It didn’t help her case that Melissa wasn’t reflected on income statements her grandmother had submitted to the agency.)

"Into the woods …."
