No Chance to Correct Chronic Nonpayment

December 1, 2000

LVT Number: 14558

Landlord sued to evict tenant for chronic nonpayment of rent. Tenant asked the court to dismiss the case because landlord didn't first send him a notice to cure. The court ruled for tenant. Landlord appealed and won. Chronic failure to pay rent was a violation of a substantial obligation of the tenancy. It couldn't be corrected within 10 days. So no notice to cure was necessary. The case was sent back to the trial court.
