Nonrenewal Notice Contained Enough Facts

(Decision submitted by Jeffrey B. Lowitt of the Manhattan law firm of Kucker Kraus & Bruh, attorneys for the landlord) Landlord sued to evict tenant for nonprimary residence. Tenant claimed that landlord's nonrenewal notice didn't state enough facts. The court ruled for landlord. Landlord's notice was sufficient. The notice stated when tenant's renewal lease expired and that landlord believed tenant wasn't using the apartment as his primary residence. Landlord further stated that tenant hadn't spent 183 days in the apartment within the past year; that tenant has an address in Newark, New Jersey, and gets mail at a post office box in Newark; and that tenant works in Irvington, New Jersey. Landlord's notice also stated that landlord wished to recover the apartment for his own personal use and occupancy.
