Synopsis

In this holdover case, petitioner landlord sought possession based on the respondent’s failure to pay rent for over a year. Respondent moved to dismiss the proceeding, arguing that the notice of termination failed to include one of the required grounds under the Good Cause Eviction Law (GCEL), specifically under RPL § 216. The court found the predicate notice defective because it did not specify the basis for eviction under RPL § 226-c, which is a fatal error that could not be cured by amendment. As a result, the court dismissed the case without prejudice.
