Verification of Petition Incomplete

April 1, 1995

LVT Number: 9591

Landlord sued to evict tenant. Tenant asked the court to dismiss the case, claiming that landlord's petition was defective. The petition was verified by landlord's attorney rather than landlord with no explanation as to why this was done. The court ruled against tenant. Landlord didn't indicate why the verification wasn't made by landlord itself. But this defect in the petition was of no major consequence. Landlord could amend its petition.
