All Decisions

In this holdover proceeding concerning a rent-stabilized premises, the landlord sought to recover possession based on the tenant's alleged non-primary residence. The landlord served a Notice of Non-Renewal and Termination of Tenancy, terminating the tenancy due to the tenant's purported absence from the premises.

The court dismissed the proceeding, granting the tenant's motion, and denied the landlord's motion to vacate the ERAP stay, ruling in favor of the tenant. Key legal points include the …

Study On The Rights Of Parties In Live-In Relationships In India - A Case Review Approach, Prabhavathi N

Theses and Dissertations

Heterosexual live-in relationship is viewed as a stigma in Indian society. However, through a plethora of judgments, the Apex Court of India granted monetary relief and physical protections to couples in live-in relationships. While so a few High Courts had refused to grant protection to the live-in couples by stating that giving such rights and protection would destroy the country's social fabric.

View of such High Courts reflects on the opinion that our Courts indeed have different ideas while granting reliefs to persons in live-in relationships. Catena of judicial decisions explained this relationship as a "walk in and walked out" …

All Decisions

In this non-payment proceeding, the tenant successfully invoked the MDL §302-a defense due to ongoing rent-impairing violations, including leaks and pest issues, that persisted for over six months. The court found that the landlord did not adequately address these conditions, thereby barring rent collection from September 2022 to January 2024. The tenant's counterclaims for habitability breaches were recognized, leading to the case dismissal and the order for the landlord to rectify existing HPD violations within specified timeframes.

An In-Depth Analysis On Efficiency And Vulnerabilities On A Cloud-Based Searchable Symmetric Encryption Solution, Prithvi Chaudhari, Ji-Jian Chin, Soeheila Moesfa Bt Mohamad

Journal of Informatics and Web Engineering

Searchable Symmetric Encryption (SSE) has come to be as an integral cryptographic approach in a world where digital privacy is essential. The capacity to search through encrypted data whilst maintaining its integrity meets the most important demand for security and confidentiality in a society that is increasingly dependent on cloud-based services and data storage. SSE offers efficient processing of queries over encrypted datasets, allowing entities to comply with data privacy rules while preserving database usability. Our research goes into this need, concentrating on the development and thorough testing of an SSE system based on Curtmola’s architecture and employing Advanced Encryption …

The Irs Audits An Easy Target — The Poor, George Galan

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

In 2018, Natassia Smick and her husband filed their income tax return showing earnings of about $33,000. They expected a refund, $2,000 of which is attributed to the Earned Income Tax Credit. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a tax credit “for working people with low and moderate incomes. It boosts the incomes of workers paid low wages while offsetting federal payroll and income taxes.” The EITC aims to reduce poverty, and in 2018, the credit “lifted about 5.6 million people above the poverty line.” Smick, like many other families, relied on her tax refund to help pay her …
