Synopsis
In this owner's use holdover proceeding, the landlord sought possession of an apartment, alleging immediate and compelling necessity for personal occupancy. However, the court granted the tenant's motion to dismiss, finding the predicate notice insufficient. The notice lacked specificity regarding the landlord's intent and failed to provide factual details supporting the claimed necessity for occupancy. The court emphasized that a notice of termination must include specific allegations relevant to the particular proceeding, not merely statutory language, to sustain an eviction action.
