I have what seems like an odd situation with a non-payment proceeding. Hoping to get a better understanding of it here.
I'm rent stabilized, and my landlord claims to have served a 3 day rent demand. Following that demand, his business records show he's accepted money from me that exceeds what's demanded in the 3 day notice. A few weeks later he files his Petition in housing court, which lists exactly the same amount owed and was paid by me, as did the rent demand.
Can the Landlord continue with his Petition once he's accepted all money that was asked for in the original 3 day rent demand?
