Synopsis

In this GCEL holdover based on nonpayment of rent under RPL § 216(1)(a)(i), the court grants the tenant's motion to dismiss. The notice of termination stated only that the tenant was 'delinquent on your rental obligation' without providing any monthly accounting or further detail. The court holds that this conclusory allegation was not reasonable under the attendant circumstances and dismisses the petition.
