A 32-year tenant of a rent-stabilized apartment in the East Village recently won the right to stay in her $992-a-month apartment using what the Daily News dubbed a "sushi defense." The owner had been trying to evict her for six years based on nonprimary residence. If a rent-stabilized tenant spends more than half her time at another residence, she can be legally evicted.
