Synopsis
In a licensee holdover involving a RAD/PACT conversion, the court granted the tenant's motion to dismiss. The landlord failed to serve a mandatory Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Notice with the predicate 10-day notice to quit. The court noted that federal regulations define "tenant" to include "an individual or a family renting or occupying an assisted dwelling unit," thus requiring the landlord to serve the VAWA notice on the occupant tenant. This failure was deemed a fatal defect, necessitating dismissal of the proceeding.
