Synopsis
In this nonpayment proceeding, the landlord moved to vacate a default judgment entered against them. The court denied the landlord's motion, finding that they failed to provide a reasonable excuse for their default. The court then granted summary judgment to the tenant and dismissed the petition, finding that no valid lease renewal was in effect at the time the proceeding was commenced, as required by RPAPL § 711(2). The court rejected the landlord's argument that acceptance of ERAP funds created an implied lease, distinguishing other cases where the subject premises were unregulated.
