Synopsis

In this failure-to-renew holdover, the tenant - a rent-stabilized SRO occupant - moves for summary judgment. The court grants the motion and dismisses the petition because the landlord's renewal offer violated the Rent Stabilization Code: it failed to offer a one- or two-year term option, did not use the DHCR-prescribed form, and demanded return within ten days instead of the required sixty.
