Synopsis
In this nonpayment proceeding for a 3-unit building, the Civil Court of the City of New York granted the tenant's motion for a directed verdict, dismissing the petition. The landlord failed to establish a prima facie case by not providing a complete lease with rental amounts or a proper rent breakdown. Although the tenant testified to a $1,650 monthly rent, the rent demand sought $2,900, rendering it defective and non-amendable. The court also noted the landlord's violation of a discovery order to produce all necessary documents. The tenant's counterclaims were severed without prejudice.
