Synopsis

In this licensee holdover proceeding, the court denied the tenant's motion to dismiss, upholding the landlord's subject matter jurisdiction over the case. The tenant's claims of improper service and lack of personal jurisdiction were rejected due to insufficient detail in the denial of service. Additionally, the court found unresolved factual issues regarding the tenant's status as a tenant or licensee, necessitating a trial. The landlord's cross-motion for discovery and use and occupancy was also denied due to procedural shortcomings.
