Nonrenewal Notice Gave Enough Facts

LVT Number: 8071

Landlord sued to evict tenant for nonprimary residency. Tenant claimed that landlord's notice of nonrenewal didn't state enough facts to support landlord's claim. Landlord's notice stated the actual address where landlord believed tenant to be living plus the claim that tenant hadn't lived in the apartment for over 183 days in the past year. The court found that this was just enough to make the notice specific enough. Landlord could go ahead with a trial.
