Synopsis

A landlord's motion to reargue a holdover case, based on non-renewal for alleged arrears under RPL § 226-c, was denied. The court reiterated that even pre-amendment RPL § 226-c notices, when based on nonpayment under the Good Cause Eviction Law (GCEL), must reasonably inform the tenant of the exact sum owed and its calculation to allow for a cure. The court found that simply stating a lump sum of arrears without detailing the periods of nonpayment was insufficient under RPAPL § 741(4), affirming its prior dismissal despite the landlord's argument for liberal construction.
