Pre-Answer Motion by Tenant

Case Dismissed/discontinued

Tenant Substantially Won

In this illegal sublet holdover in a rent-stabilized apartment, the court granted the tenant's motion to dismiss the petition because the predicate notice to cure and the notice of termination were impermissibly vague and devoid of factual details. The court found that the allegations in the predicate notices did not identify with reasonable specificity the conduct complained of, the dates and times, the persons involved, or the circumstances giving rise to the allegations, leaving respondents to speculate as to the factual basis of petitioner's claims and depriving them of a meaningful opportunity to cure and prepare an adequate defense.

Illegal Sublet Holdover Dismissed; Predicate Notice to Cure and Notice of Termination Defective and Impermissibly Vague and Conclusory
