Overview

• Maverick Crupi returned to his two-bedroom SkyVue apartment in Oakland and found two unfamiliar individuals living there and his kitchen equipment replaced.
• His signed agreement was a by-the-bed lease covering a single bedroom and shared living spaces rather than the entire unit.
• The lease requires written landlord consent and a signed new contract for any resident replacements or sublets.
• Attorneys, including Daniel Stoner, argue that separate individual leases grant SkyVue discretion to add occupants without breaching the contract or the covenant of quiet enjoyment.
• Crupi insists his tenant rights were violated and is calling for stronger lease notice provisions to prevent similar disputes.
