Landlord Substantially Won
Synopsis
The landlord commenced a non-renewal holdover proceeding against the tenant, who was a tenant in a market-rate apartment. The tenant's lease had expired. The landlord argued that the tenant had failed to pay rent due and owing, which constituted good cause for eviction under the Good Cause Eviction Law. The court granted the landlord's motion, finding that the plain language of the Good Cause Eviction Law authorized a non-renewal holdover for nonpayment of rent, even though the tenant's lease had expired. The court entered a default judgment for the landlord, but granted the tenant a 10-day stay to cure the rent arrears under RPAPL 751.
