Nonpayment Case Converted Into Eviction Case

May 31, 2001

LVT Number: 15054

Landlord sued to evict tenant for nonpayment of rent. While the case was pending, landlord asked the court to convert the case into a holdover eviction case. The court did so and ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed and won. It was improper to convert the case from a nonpayment to a holdover, especially since no termination notice had been sent to tenant.
