165 Misc. 204

Coughlin v. Jones

Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · decided 1937-11-08

Decided 1937-11-08

Per Curiam.

¶1The fact that the landlord permitted or invited the children of his tenants to use the yard as a playground did not by implication authorize his tenants or their children to invite strangers to make a similar use of the yard. Plaintiff was at best a mere licensee to whom the landlord was not liable for defects in the premises.

¶2Judgment reversed, with costs, and complaint dismissed on the merits, with costs.

¶3All concur. Present — Lydon, Levy and Hammer, JJ.
