May 31, 2007

LVT Number: 19656

Landlord sued to evict rent-stabilized tenant, to recover the apartment for owner occupancy. Tenant asked the court to dismiss the case. She claimed that landlord's lease nonrenewal notice didn't state facts upon which the claim was based. The court ruled for tenant. Landlord appealed and lost. Landlord's notice didn't state facts that supported his claim. The notice merely quoted the language from Rent Stabilization Code Section 2524.2(b) setting forth the grounds for recovery of an apartment for owner occupancy purposes.
