Miguel Braschi v. Stahl Associates Company

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the term "family" in the rent‑control noneviction regulation includes long‑term, interdependent unmarried partners, allowing the appellant to seek preliminary injunctive relief; it reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for further discretionary consideration. The decision was contested by a dissent and a concurrence, each offering differing views on the scope of the definition.
