Synopsis
In this holdover case, the landlord sought eviction based on claims of nuisance and breach of lease, citing unsanitary conditions and a flood caused by the tenant. However, the court found that the alleged uncleanliness had been remedied before trial and that a single flooding incident did not constitute a legal nuisance. Additionally, as the tenant’s rent-controlled status meant no lease was in evidence, the breach of lease claim was dismissed for failure to state a cause of action. The case was ultimately dismissed.
