Blanchard died in 1986 and subsequently, Stahl Associates Company served notice on Braschi that he was a mere licensee with no right to occupy the apartment since only Blanchard was the tenant of record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Procedural History:<\/strong> The Supreme Court concluded that Braschi was a &#8220;family member&#8221; within the meaning of the rent control regulation based on the interdependent nature of Braschi&#8217;s 10 year relationship with Blanchard. The Appellate Division reversed when it concluded that the regulation provides non-eviction protection only to &#8220;family members within traditional, legally recognized familial relationships.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Issue:<\/strong> Whether Braschi demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits that he would be included in the term &#8220;family&#8221; as used within the rent-control code.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Holding:<\/strong> Yes, Braschi demonstrated this likelihood. Reversed the Appellate Division decision and remitted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reasoning:<\/strong> &#8220;Family&#8221; was not defined in the rent-control code. The rent-control regulations were intended to protect against sudden eviction and &#8220;prevent exactions of unjust, unreasonable, and oppressive rents.&#8221; This intended protection should not rest on &#8220;fictitious legal distinctions or genetic history, but instead should find its foundation in the reality of family life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dissent:<\/strong> The plurality adopted a definition of family which extends the language of the regulation. The court &#8220;has expanded the class indefinitely to include anyone who can satisfy an administrator that he or she had an emotional and financial &#8216;commitment&#8217; to the statutory tenant.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facts: Braschi lived with another male Blanchard in a rent-controlled apartment in New York for eleven years.
