Synopsis
The court dismissed the landlord's claim for possession because the petition was filed in the name of the estate, which is not a legal entity. The landlord failed to prove that the co-administrator had authority to act at the time of the notice of termination. The tenant's motion to dismiss was granted, and the landlord’s cross-motion to amend the petition was denied. The case was dismissed without prejudice, preserving the landlord’s ability to recommence proceedings..
