Synopsis
Landlord commenced a nuisance holdover proceeding against a rent-stabilized tenant in a supportive housing building. Tenant moved to dismiss on the ground that the notice of petition used non-standard language substituting 'fair use and occupancy' for the prescribed money judgment language. The court granted the motion, holding the deviation from the mandatory form was not de minimis and rendered the notice of petition fatally defective and unamendable.
Keywords
