Synopsis
In this non-payment proceeding, the court granted the tenant's post-judgment motions to vacate a default judgment, allow a late answer, and for summary judgment, thereby dismissing the case. The tenant, a 92-year-old suffering from dementia, had a guardian ad litem appointed. The court found that the landlord's property was subject to the CARES Act due to a federally backed mortgage. Consequently, the rent demand, a predicate notice for the proceeding, was required to provide 30 days' notice instead of the 14 days actually given. As a predicate notice cannot be amended, the proceeding was dismissed due to this jurisdictional defect.
