Synopsis
In this no-grounds/expiration of lease holdover, the court grants re-argument and dismisses the petition because the landlord failed to append or incorporate the statutory RPL § 231-c Good Cause Eviction Law notice to the predicate Notice of Termination. The truncated version included in the notice did not contain enough relevant portions to be considered a non-prejudicial defect.
