Synopsis

In a nonpayment proceeding, the court granted the tenant's motion to dismiss the petition without prejudice, finding it failed to state a cause of action under RPAPL § 711(2). The landlord's rent demand was deemed fatally defective as its alleged monthly rent amounts conflicted with the agreed-upon sums in the parties' written leases. The court dismissed the petition after the landlord repeatedly refused to negotiate a reasonable settlement.
