The tenant-appellee, Marie Thurston, leased an apartment “by the month” from the landlord-appellant, Nathan Habib. On October 21, 1983, the landlord served a notice to quit or cure by November 30, citing “overcrowding in breach of lease and D.C. Housing Regulations.” The tenant did not surrender the premises; instead, she tendered to the landlord, on December 1, a money order for the December rent.1 Although the landlord endorsed and deposited this money order, he filed a complaint for possession on December 3, alleging both nonpayment of rent for December and overcrowding of the premises.
