CONCLUSIONIn sum, in order to best harmonize the grounds for removal in GCEL with the overarching statutory framework for summary evictions proceedings embodied within RPAPL 711, 731 and 749, and statutory right of a tenant to withhold based on a landlord's breach of the warranty of habitability as codified in RPL 235-b, and in the absence of an unequivocal statement from the legislature that they intended to deviate from the traditional procedure for eviction based on nonpayment, the summary remedy for enforcing a routine failure to pay rent against a GCEL-tenant must remain via a nonpayment proceeding, not a non-renewal holdover.
