Synopsis

Tenant, who had been self-represented when she stipulated to a final judgment of possession, moved to vacate the stipulation on the ground that she unknowingly waived a complete defense—landlord's failure to plead the applicability of the Good Cause Eviction Law as required for proceedings filed after April 20, 2024. The court granted the motion, finding the stipulation was entered into inadvisedly, and vacated both the stipulation and the judgment and warrant of eviction.
