Synopsis
Tenant successfully amended their answer claiming late service of the petition by the landlord, which the court found constituted prejudice and grounds for dismissal. The court emphasized strict adherence to service timelines and rejected the landlord's attempts to retroactively fix the service date or collect use and occupancy due to adjournments agreed upon by both parties.
