Synopsis
In this nuisance holdover in a project-based Section 8 apartment, the court dismissed the petition because the landlord served an outdated VAWA notice form. The court held that service of an outdated form is a dismissible defect regardless of whether the respondent claims to be affected by domestic violence. The proper VAWA notice must be served in all applicable cases.
