Petition Verified by Attorney

LVT Number: 7015

Landlord sued to evict tenant. Tenant claimed that landlord's petition should be dismissed because it was verified by landlord's attorney rather than by landlord. The court found that landlord's petition was defective because it didn't state why the petition was being verified by landlord's attorney instead of by landlord. Landlord's petition was dismissed.
