Synopsis
The landlord brought a holdover proceeding against the tenant, naming him as "Kevin Doe" despite knowing his true name. The tenant moved to dismiss the proceeding, arguing that the description of the premises was inadequate and that the use of a pseudonym was improper. The court granted the tenant's motion, finding that the landlord's failure to accurately describe the premises and use of a pseudonym deprived the court of jurisdiction.
