A tenant had moved to dismiss a nonpayment proceeding in the City Court. The tenant asserted that the case should be dismissed. In the alternative, she sought an order “reversing (landlord’s) rental increase because it exceeds 5 percent and is violative of the City of Poughkeepsie’s (City) recently enacted ‘Good Cause Eviction Law (GCEL)….’”

The tenant lived in the subject apartment since 2017. Her prior lease, which expired April 30, 2022, had a monthly rent of $1,400.00. In January 2022, the landlord allegedly sent to the tenant, “a notice renewing the lease and threatened eviction if the new lease with new terms was not signed.”
