Synopsis
Handwritten. The landlord withdrew the case after the tenant's motion to dismiss highlighted procedural defects under the Good Cause Eviction Law (GCE). The original 90-day termination notice failed to address nonpayment, and the amended petition lacked proper form notice. This outcome demonstrates the early enforcement of GCE protections, reinforcing tenant defenses against eviction for insufficiently substantiated claims.
