Synopsis
The Civil Court dismissed landlord's nonpayment petition on two grounds. First, petitioner, as a landlord of a tenant with a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, failed to serve the required VAWA notice and certification form with the predicate rent demand as required by 24 CFR § 5.2005(a). Second, the subject premises being a covered property under the CARES Act required petitioner to serve a 30-day notice before commencing the proceeding; petitioner served only a 14-day rent demand.
