Stay of Eviction Proceedings Due to Non-Renewal of Lease

Judgment summary

A landlord filed a lawsuit against a tenant seeking to terminate a residential lease and evict the tenant, citing a desire not to renew the contract. The landlord's claims included vacating the property, paying rent arrears until the eviction date, and clearing all utility bills. The landlord submitted the notarized lease agreement and a legal notice of non-renewal as evidence. The tenant, despite being properly notified, did not appear in court. The court referenced Article 104 of the Federal Civil Procedure Law, which permits the stay of proceedings. It cited the existence of high directives to suspend eviction cases based on non-renewal or rent increases. Consequently, as the landlord's claim was based on non-renewal, the court ruled to stay the case in compliance with these directives. The decision on costs and fees was deferred until a judgment on the merits of the case is issued.
