Motion Granted for Landlord

Winner

Landlord Substantially Won

Synopsis

In this nonpayment proceeding, the tenant moved to amend her answer and dismiss the case, arguing the landlord failed to comply with LLCL § 206 by not publishing its incorporation details when the action commenced. The landlord submitted proof of belated publication. The court granted the tenant's motion to amend the answer but denied the motion to dismiss. It held that the landlord's failure to comply with LLCL § 206 at the time of commencement was not a jurisdictional defect and could be cured nunc pro tunc by subsequent publication, thereby allowing the landlord to maintain the action.
