A landlord rented a house to people who frequently had loud parties late at night and caused other problems, such as selling illegal drugs. The neighbors called the police several times to complain.

One night, two masked, armed men invaded the neighbor’s house, threatening them if they called the police. The neighbor sued the landlord for emotional distress for renting the house to such people. Is there a good claim? [Taggard v. Costabile, 14 N.Y.S.3d 388, App. Div., NY (2015)]
