Synopsis

In a Rent Stabilized tenancy dispute, the landlord filed a pre-answer motion against the tenant alleging non-payment of rent and breach of lease. The court, however, granted the motion in favor of the tenant, highlighting the landlord's failure to provide adequate evidence supporting the claims. This case underscores the importance of substantiating claims in landlord-tenant disputes, where the burden of proof lies heavily on the landlord.
