Rent Demand Defective
LVT Number: 10203
Landlord sued to evict co-op tenant for not paying monthly maintenance. Tenant claimed that landlord's rent demand was defective. The court ruled for tenant and dismissed the case. Landlord's notice didn't break down the claimed amount owed, didn't specify the time period for which the back rent was due, and included amounts other than rent in the total sum demanded.
