Landlord Didn't Make Proper Rent Demand
LVT Number: 9336
Nassau County landlord sued to evict tenant for nonpayment of rent. The court issued an eviction warrant, and found that tenant owed landlord about $3,000 in back rent. Tenant appealed, and the appeals court ruled for tenant. Landlord didn't make a proper rent demand, so the case shouldn't have gone forward.
