Synopsis
The court dismissed the landlord's non-payment proceeding, finding the rent demand defective. The demand merely referred to an attached ledger "riddled with fees and adjustments" rather than clearly itemizing the rent owed by month. This impermissibly shifted the burden to the tenant and court to calculate arrears, preventing the tenant from understanding the claim and formulating a defense.
