Synopsis
In this Good Cause Eviction Law (GCEL) holdover for nonpayment of rent under RPL § 216[1][a][i], the court denied the tenant's pre-answer motion to dismiss the petition. The tenant argued the predicate 60-day termination notice was defective for failing to specify the months of alleged rent default. The court, declining to follow precedent requiring specific details akin to rent demands, instead followed a standard finding lower pleading requirements for GCEL predicate notices based on nonpayment. The court noted the petition provided further arrears details and the tenant's apparent concession of rent owed.
