Synopsis

A landlord's nonpayment case was dismissed due to a defective rent demand. The court found that the demand, dated after a significant payment by the tenant, reflected a nearly 50% difference from the actual amount due for the period, thus failing to provide clear and unequivocal notice as required by RPAPL § 711(2) and case law. While the tenant's overcharge counterclaim was denied without prejudice due to a question of fact regarding the rent increase, the proceeding itself was dismissed.
