Nonrenewal Notice Wasn't Defective

LVT Number: 14800

Landlord sued to evict rent-stabilized tenant for nonprimary residence. Tenant claimed that landlord's nonrenewal notice was defective. The court ruled for tenant and dismissed the case. Landlord appealed and won. Any misstatement in the notice of the precise termination date was a minor error and didn't affect tenant's ability to respond to landlord's petition.
