Nonrenewal Notice Gave Enough Facts

September 30, 1995

LVT Number: 10032

Landlord sued to evict tenant for nonprimary residence. Tenant claimed landlord's notice of nonrenewal of tenant's lease was defective. The court ruled for tenant and dismissed landlord's petition. Landlord appealed. The appeals court ruled for landlord and reopened the case. Landlord's notice of nonrenewal claimed that tenant was living at a specific Massachusetts address and had improperly sublet the apartment for more than two years. This was sufficient. The fact that landlord didn't attach a copy of the renewal notice to its petition also didn't matter in this case.
