Synopsis
In this non-payment case, the tenant moved to amend her answer and to dismiss the petition due to a defective rent demand. The court granted the motion to amend, noting the absence of prejudice to the landlord and the potential merit in the proposed defenses. Regarding the motion to dismiss, the court found the rent demand lacking clarity and specificity, particularly concerning additional charges, and dismissed the petition without prejudice, emphasizing the importance of compliance with RPAPL 711.
