nyc: A NYC landlord needs to bring a holdover proceeding in housing court against a tenant for material lease violations other than nonpayment of rent. The landlord needs to serve either a Notice of Termination or a Notice to Cure. What is the (legal?) difference between the two types of documents? Under what situations is a Notice of Termination required and under what situatuons is a Notice to Cure required?|||The Cure is an optional notice. Basically, fix the problem or move out. Termination has no option, and takes longer, it is simply "move out", You can not use the termination one in rent controled NYC. You can only do this if there is no rent control for the unit.
