Arguments and Actions
Landlord
Arguments
Landlord claims that redevelopment plans have been in progress for approximately three years, and the primary reason for the demolition predates the maintenance complaint to the township.
Tenant
Arguments
Tenants submit that the Landlord is in serious breach of their maintenance obligations and that the notice was served in retaliation for the Tenants contacting the township about their maintenance concerns.
