Synopsis

In this holdover proceeding, the landlord sought to evict the tenant based on a non-renewal notice. The tenant raised several defenses, including lack of proper service, failure to state a cause of action, and the landlord's acceptance of rent payments as a waiver of their right to terminate the tenancy. The court denied the landlord's motion to strike the tenant's defenses, finding that the landlord failed to demonstrate they were without merit. The court also denied the landlord's request for use and occupancy payments due to the unresolved issue of personal jurisdiction.
