The following excerpt is from Deickler v. Abrams, 159 N.Y.S.2d 449 (N.Y. Cty. Ct. 1956):
The rather unusual factual situation in the case at bar resembles that in Lamb v. Lamb, 146 N.Y. 317, 41 N.E. 26, where it was unsuccessfully sought to impose liability upon a widow who continued in occupancy of the marital abode. Again the absence of the conventional landlordtenant relationship barred the action.
