Synopsis

In this non-payment case, the landlord sought to restore the proceeding for a final judgment after a March 2022 stipulation bifurcated rent arrears. The tenant successfully argued that due to an HRA check received, her balance was effectively zero as of January 2023. The court dismissed the petition without prejudice for any rent arrears accrued after January 2023, vacating the judgment and warrant against the tenant.
