Synopsis
In this holdover proceeding, the landlord moved to vacate an ERAP stay and obtain a default judgment. The tenant cross-moved to vacate a prior stipulation of settlement and dismiss the case. The court granted the tenant's cross-motion, finding that the landlord failed to provide the tenant with a required notice under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). This failure to provide the statutorily mandated notice constituted a fundamental defect in the proceeding, leading the court to vacate the stipulation and dismiss the case.
