Nonrenewal Notice Doesn't Give Enough Facts

February 1, 2001

LVT Number: 14718

Landlord sued to evict rent-stabilized tenant to recover apartment for owner occupancy. Tenant asked the court to dismiss the case, claiming that landlord's nonrenewal notice was defective because it didn't give enough facts. The court ruled for tenant. The notice didn't state which member of landlord's family would occupy the apartment, why tenant's apartment was the one targeted or suitable for owner occupancy, or why other apartments were unsuitable.
