Landlord-Tenant—Nuisance Summary Holdover Proceeding Dismissed—Tenant Struck Building Employee in the Head With a Screwdriver—Isolated Incident Failed to Establish a “Pattern of Continuity or Recurrence of Objectionable Conduct”
A landlord commenced a nuisance summary holdover proceeding against a tenant. The petition alleged that the tenant created a nuisance, “when he threatened and struck a building employee” (superintendent) “on the head with a screwdriver” (assault). The tenant denied the allegations and counterclaimed for “retaliatory eviction, harassment and breach of warranty of habitability.”
