Synopsis
In this nuisance holdover proceeding, the landlord moved to strike tenant's defenses and for a judgment of possession. The tenant cross-moved for summary judgment. The court dismissed the petition, finding that the predicate notice of termination was insufficient because it lacked the specificity required to establish nuisance as the ground for eviction. The court emphasized that the notice contained vague and conclusory allegations of anti-social behavior without providing specific dates, times, or descriptions of the alleged incidents.
