Notices Reasonably Advised Tenant of Landlord's Claim

Landlord sued to evict rent-stabilized tenant for illegal subletting or assignment of tenant's apartment. The court denied tenant's request to dismiss the case based on his claim that landlord's notice to cure and tenancy termination notice were improper. Tenant appealed and lost. Landlord's notice to cure, which was incorporated by reference in the termination notice, reasonably and sufficiently advised tenant that he had unlawfully sublet the apartment or assigned the lease to three named individuals with landlord's written consent, in violation of Real Property Law Section 226-b and Rent Stabilization Code Sections 2524.3(h) and 2525.6. These notices weren't impermissibly vague and fairly advised tenant of the condition landlord wanted cured.
