Notice to Cure Not Required in Chronic Nonpayment Case

LVT Number: 17680

(Decision submitted by Gary D. Friedman of the New Hyde Park law firm of Gutman, Mintz, Baker & Sonnenfeldt, PC, attorneys for the landlord.) Landlord sued to evict tenant for chronic nonpayment of rent. Tenant asked the court to dismiss the case because landlord never sent him a notice to cure before starting the eviction case. The court ruled against tenant. Landlord wasn't required to send tenant a notice to cure. Chronic nonpayment of rent is a pattern of conduct that by its nature isn't capable of any meaningful cure.
