Synopsis
In this non-payment summary eviction case, the landlord sought a default judgment after the tenant failed to appear, submitting an affidavit of non-military investigation. The tenant moved to vacate the default and impose sanctions, alleging the affidavit was false as he was hospitalized during the stated contact time. The court granted the tenant's motion to vacate the default, finding a reasonable excuse and a meritorious defense. The court further ordered a hearing on the imposition of sanctions against the landlord, concluding that conflicting affidavits raised factual questions about potentially frivolous conduct regarding the non-military investigation.
