Synopsis
Court denied tenant's motion to dismiss GCEL holdover premised on nonpayment of rent under RPL § 216(1)(a)(i), holding that a predicate 90-day notice of termination need not include specific factual allegations regarding the amounts of rent arrears or the months unpaid. Court noted that the landlord still bears the burden of proof at trial including demonstrating good cause to evict, the tenant retains numerous defenses, and a post-trial cure is available under RPAPL § 751(1) as incorporated by RPL § 216(3).
