Sherman Opines on Claiming Rights to a Manhattan Co-Op
Eric D. Sherman, a partner in Pryor Cashman’s Real Estate and Litigation Groups, was featured in the September 8, 2018 installment of the New York Times’ “Ask Real Estate” column. The article explored whether a live-in aide could claim rights to an apartment if the aide were to ultimately refuse to leave. The answer is that it's important to "(Be) clear about the relationship from the outset. From what you describe, she would not be a roommate who pays rent in exchange for housing, but a domestic worker living in your childhood bedroom because of her employment." Eric added that "(T)he best way to position this is to call it what it is, which is an employee-employer relationship." Associate Marion Harris assisted with the response.
