Synopsis
The landlord commenced a plenary action against a former tenant seeking recovery of rental arrears, damages, and legal fees. The landlord moved for summary judgment and to strike the tenant's answer. The court denied both motions, finding material issues of fact regarding the amount of debt owed. The landlord's rent ledger did not credit payments made after May 2022, whereas the tenant provided checks for payments made subsequently, creating a factual dispute requiring a trial. The motion to strike the answer was also denied due to these unresolved factual issues.
