Nonrenewal Notice Gave Enough Facts

December 1, 2000

LVT Number: 14583

Landlord sued to evict corporate tenant from rent-stabilized apartment based on nonprimary residence. Tenant claimed that landlord's nonrenewal notice was defective because it didn't state enough facts on which landlord's claim was based. The court ruled for tenant and dismissed the case. Landlord appealed and won. The nonrenewal notice stated that the occupant named in the lease for whom the corporate tenant rented the apartment didn't live there and that someone else had lived there for two years.

These were sufficient facts to advise tenant of the grounds for landlord's nonrenewal of tenant's lease.
