Court: Bianca Jagger’s tourist status doesn’t mesh with rent-control deal

Bianca Jagger lives in Manhattan with a U.S. tourist visa. Apparently that caught up to her in the midst of a legal dispute over whether she is entitled to keep her rent-stabilized, $4,600 a month, Park Avenue apartment.
The upshot, reports AP: Her tourist status conflicts with the “primary residence” requirement for rent stabilization. Jagger, a Nicaragua native and a British citizen, didn’t submit evidence to resolve that conflict, according to the judges. As a result the court did not venture into another question, The New York Law Journal reports: whether someone living illegally in the United States could prove that they have primary residence in New York for rent regulation purposes.
