Synopsis
The landlord commenced a no-grounds holdover proceeding against the tenant after the expiration of the lease. The tenant moved to dismiss based on ambiguous language in the 90-day termination notice, arguing it was contradictory. The court denied the motion to dismiss, granted the landlord’s motion for summary judgment, and awarded a judgment of possession. The tenant's retaliatory eviction defense was rejected as the tenant had not made any formal complaints to a government agency.
