A landlord commenced a licensee holdover proceeding against the estate of a former tenant of record (tenant). The tenant had died on or about Jan. 25, 2022. The landlord also sued the estate administrator and an unrelated occupant (occupant) of the apartment (apartment). The occupant had vacated the apartment and her counsel stated that the occupant “has absolutely no interest in the apartment whatsoever.”

However, “A,” the tenant’s son “who is incarcerated,” appeared by correspondence to the court and by telephone. “A” has been incarcerated since 1991.
