Post-Judgment Motion by Landlord

Motion Denied for Landlord

Tenant Substantially Won

In this GCEL no-grounds nonrenewal holdover, the court granted reargue but adhered to its prior order dismissing the petition. The landlord, claiming the small landlord exemption, had failed to provide direct and beneficial ownership information required by RPAPL § 741(5-b). The court found the motion to reargue was effectively a motion to amend an already-dismissed petition and therefore failed to satisfy CPLR 2221, which requires showing that the court misapprehended the facts or law.

GCEL; Small Landlord Exemption; Motion to Reargue Denied Because it was Effectively a Motion to Amend the Petition After Dismissal for Failure to Provide Direct & Beneficial Ownership Information Required by RPAPL § 741(5-b) and Therefore Insufficient Under CPLR 2221 to Demonstrate that the Court had Misapprehended Either the Facts or Law in Deciding Underlying Motion
