Nonrenewal Notice Gave Enough Facts

April 1, 2001

LVT Number: 14859

Landlord sued to evict rent-stabilized tenant to recover the apartment for owner occupancy. Tenant claimed that landlord's lease nonrenewal notice didn't give enough facts. The court ruled for tenant and dismissed the case. Landlord appealed and won. Landlord's nonrenewal notice stated that two landlords owned the building as tenants-in-common, that one of them intended in good faith to live in tenant's apartment as his primary residence, and that landlord would rent out his current apartment. Landlord's notice set forth sufficient facts.
