In this commercial landlord/tenant summary proceeding, the court has been asked to decide whether a notice of termination *1030upon tenant’s default and failure to cure pursuant to a conditional limitation in the lease must be served as provided in RPAPL 735 when the lease provides that it may be served by certified mail at the demised premises. It is uncontroverted that termination of the tenancy pursuant to the terms of the lease requires service of an adequate notice. (Chinatown Apts, v Chu Cho Lam, 51 NY2d 786 [1980].) No complaint has been made as to the contents of the predicate notices herein. After analyzing the dicta in the cases (there is no case on point), the statutes and the rules of statutory construction, the court concludes that despite the statutory nature of summary proceedings, the lease provision governs. (Scherer and FisherBrandveen, Lawyer’s Cooperative Practice Guide to Residential Landlord-Tenant Law in New York § 8:249 [1997].) Tenant’s motion to dismiss the petition for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is denied. STATEMENT OF FACTS
