Cuddy & Feder Successfully Recovers Possession of White Plains Apartment Amid Extended Legal Challenges
In a case led by associate Kempshall McAndrew, Cuddy & Feder successfully recovered possession of a White Plains apartment from a tenant whose lease had expired just before the COVID pandemic. Despite holdover proceedings typically being brief, this case extended over years due to New York State's COVID-related rules and the tenant's appeal to the Appellate Term, along with a bankruptcy filing. The resolution allows the landlord client to secure a new, rent-paying tenant for the apartment.
