Synopsis

The Appellate Term affirmed the Civil Court's order granting the landlord's motion to strike the tenant's jury demand in a holdover proceeding. The court found that the original lease, under which the tenant sought succession rights, contained an enforceable jury waiver provision that bound the tenant. The court also held that the landlord's motion to strike the jury demand was not untimely, nor did the tenant demonstrate prejudice due to any delay.
