Synopsis
In this no-grounds/non-renewal holdover, the court grants the tenant's motion to dismiss because the Notice of Petition is defective, containing confusing and contradictory language including instructions appropriate for a nonpayment proceeding rather than a holdover. The court finds the notice did not comply with the spirit and intent of the form prescribed by 22 NYCRR § 208.42(b) and Administrative Order 163/19.
