"When a landlord-tenant relationship exists, the landlord may maintain a special proceeding to remove a tenant if, as relevant here, '[t]he tenant continues in possession of any portion of the premises after the expiration of his [or her] term'" (Matter of Cat Hollow Estates, Inc. v Savoia, 46 AD3d 1293, 1294 [2007], quoting RPAPL 711 [1]). The tenant is free, however, to raise "any legal or equitable defense, or counterclaim" in answering the allegations in the petition (RPAPL 743).
