the plaintiff landlords served a notice to quit for nonpayment of rent on the defendant tenants and filed a summary process complaint. Id., 462. The plaintiff subsequently withdrew the summary process action in its entirety and, thereafter, filed a new summary process complaint but did not serve a new notice to quit. Id., 463. The defendants moved to dismiss the new summary process action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, claiming that the plaintiffs were required to serve a new notice to quit prior to commencing the new summary process action. Id. Our Supreme Court agreed and concluded that if a landlord has withdrawn a summary process action filed against a tenant, the landlord is required to serve a new notice to quit prior to commencing a new summary process action. Id., 465.
