DEXTER RAMPERSAUD, ET AL. VS. RONALD A. HOLLINGSWORTH, ET AL. (LT-015717-16, HUDSON COUNTY AND STATEWIDE) (A-2897-16T1)
In this appeal, a now-evicted tenant of a residential apartment, which he sublet to another, argued that only the subtenant, whose conduct generated the tenancy action, could be evicted. In affirming a judgment of possession, the court rejected the tenant's strained interpretation of the Anti-Eviction Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1(c), and conclude that a wrongful act of one permits the eviction of all occupants.
