Tenant Expelled from Ship Is Entitled to Residency Payment

Plaintiff, a luxury ship owned and used by its residents, sought to expel defendant, a resident, for improper conduct. Because the court found that the resident compromised the safety and comfort of other residents, in violation of the ship’s rules, the ship’s board acted in its discretion. Nonetheless, the court directed that defendant was entitled to compensation for his unit as the rental income was insufficient to cover his costs and resale was not likely to be achieved.
