Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the remedial provision of RPAPL 753(4) allowing a tenant to cure a lease breach applies to ejectment actions filed in the Supreme Court. The court also held that the plaintiff landlord was not entitled to attorney's fees because she did not obtain a prevailing possessory judgment.
