Synopsis

In this superintendent holdover (the second proceeding after respondent's employment was terminated), respondent's motion to dismiss on the basis that he is a tenant at will or at sufferance is denied. The court finds no delay in seeking recovery of the premises sufficient to create a tenancy at will or sufferance. Respondent's phone conversation with an agent of petitioner stating he could remain in the premises does not amount to a delay by petitioner.
