In a state-assisted Mitchell-Lama cooperative, a landlord may only commence a breach of lease holdover after serving a termination notice reciting an authorized ground for eviction and stating the facts supporting the claim (see 9 NYCRR §§ 1727-5.3[b][2]). Here, the core basis alleged for eviction in Petitioner's termination notice is Respondent's failure to timely complete annual income affidavits for the years 2019-2022, a violation of the parties' lease and DHCR regulations. Submission of annual income affidavits and related forms is an important requirement of living in a Mitchell-Lama cooperative as regulators "rely on these affidavits to monitor both the number and aggregate income of occupants, information that is crucial to determining the appropriate amount of rent and to ensuring that tenants remain eligible for the rental subsidy." (Matter of Murphy v New York State Div. of Hous. & Community Renewal, 21 NY3d 649, 654 [2013]).
