Synopsis
In this nonpayment case, the tenant's motion to dismiss based on defective service was denied. The court found the tenant waived the defense by not raising it in the original answer and rejected the motion to amend to include the defense. Additionally, the tenant's summary judgment motion based on a laches defense was denied for lack of sufficient proof of unreasonable delay or prejudice. The tenant's motion to amend the answer to add other defenses was granted except for the personal jurisdiction defense, which was stricken.
