Synopsis

In a Holdover-Lease Expiration case, the court granted the tenant's motion for summary judgment, finding that the landlord's misstatement of lease expiration date and failure to provide a proper renewal lease offer warranted dismissal of the petition. The court declined to issue an advisory opinion on the requirement of serving an initial vacancy lease, leaving it to legislative discretion.
