ALBANY – Tenants who successfully fight off eviction efforts in holdover proceedings are entitled to the attorney fees they incur retaining their units, the state Court of Appeals decided unanimously Thursday.
The court said Real Property Law §234, by allowing landlords to collect fees they spend in retaking possession of apartments by re-renting the units, carries with it a reciprocal right of recovery for the tenant.
