Winner
Tenant Substantially Won
Synopsis
In this no-grounds/nonrenewal of tenancy holdover, the court granted respondent's motion to dismiss for failure to state a cause of action because, although the landlord claimed the 'small landlord' exemption to GCEL, the GCEL notice attached to the predicate notice of termination failed to identify the properties owned by the landlord as required by RPL § 231-c. The court dismissed the petition without prejudice, relying on 3515 Eastchester Rd., LLC v Soto [Civ Ct, Bronx Co. 2025] and observing that the factual allegations in the GCEL notice, which is incorporated into the notice of termination, cannot be amended.
