Notices Weren't Defective

January 1, 1996

LVT Number: 10299

Landlord sued to evict tenant for nuisance. Tenant claimed that landlord's notice to cure and notice to terminate were defective because they weren't specific enough. The court ruled against tenant on this issue. Landlord's 10-day notice to cure claimed that tenant's son engaged in antisocial and disruptive behavior with his friends by regularly loitering in the building, making loud noises day and night, using and selling drugs, and attempting to break into other apartments. Landlord sufficiently stated the cause of the eviction action.
