After serving a 10-day notice to quit on OM, and other occupants, SM filed a license holdover proceeding.
And after the Suffolk County District Court found in SM’s favor, and awarded her a judgment of possession, an appeal ensued.
While OM claimed that SM should have lost, because she hadn’t proven that he had committed “objectionable conduct,” the Appellate Term, Second Department, noted that such proof wasn't required in a licensee summary proceeding.
Since a license is generally “revocable at will,” and the appropriate notice issued, the AT2 found no merit in OM’s claims and left the final judgment undisturbed.
Bet OM found that outcome objectionable.
