Synopsis

In this holdover proceeding, the tenant moved to amend their answer and for discovery. The court dismissed the landlord's petition, finding the landlord failed to serve a proper predicate notice. The landlord had appended a truncated version of the Real Property Law § 231-c Good Cause Eviction Law (GCEL) form to the predicate notice, which the court deemed insufficient as it did not contain enough relevant portions to be considered a non-prejudicial defect. Consequently, the tenant's motion was granted, and the proceeding was dismissed.
