Synopsis
This holdover proceeding, based on a 90-day termination notice, was dismissed without prejudice. The tenant successfully argued that the termination notice failed to mention her Section 8 voucher, a crucial detail required by law. The court emphasized that such notices must accurately describe the tenancy, including any Section 8 status, to fulfill regulatory requirements. As the notice was deficient and could not be amended, the petition was dismissed.
