Appellant leased an apartment from Park Monroe Associates for a fixed term of one year. Ten days before the expiration of the term the tenant was served with a notice to vacate and quit the premises, which the tenant failed to do. A complaint was filed in the trial court with the ground for possession being asserted as the “[ejxpiration of 30 days notice to quit.” During the trial, however, the court permitted the landlord to amend the complaint to assert, in effect, that possession was being sought due to the expiration of the term lease, though the notice was given shortly before the end of the term. We will view this case in the context of the permitted amendment.
