Landlord Can Correct Mistake in Nonrenewal Notice

September 30, 2001

LVT Number: 15307

Landlord sued to evict rent-stabilized tenant for nonprimary residence. Tenant claimed that landlord's nonrenewal notice was defective and asked the court to dismiss the case. The court ruled for tenant, and landlord appealed. The appeals court ruled for landlord and reopened the case. The nonrenewal notice mistakenly named landlord as ''Associates'' instead of ''LLC,'' but this was a correctable error. And the nonrenewal notice was specific enough.

It informed tenant of landlord's claim that tenant owned and lived in a house in Maryland, that tenant hadn't been seen at the apartment on a daily basis for an extended period, and that someone else lived in the apartment.
