Synopsis

Granting motion for reargument and granting summary judgment in tenant’s favor, dismissing the case. Underlying motion for summary judgment argued that landlord was unable to maintain the proceeding because the tenant is rent stabilized without a current lease. Judge denied motion, finding that landlord’s acceptance of ERAP payment constituted a lease and/or agreement. Motion for reargument argued that the proceeding was commenced in November 2022 and landlord did not accept ERAP payment until December 2022, therefore at the time that the proceeding was commenced there was no lease and/or agreement in effect.
