Synopsis
A landlord's motion to amend its non-payment petition was granted, and the tenant's motion to dismiss was denied. The court allowed the landlord to amend its pleading to remove claims for rent not included in the predicate rent demand. It also ruled that a minor misspelling of the landlord's name on the lease was a de minimus error that did not deprive the landlord of standing to bring the action.
