In opposition, .the petitioner makes several arguments. First, the petitioner contends that the lease was rendered void once illegal drugs were discovered in the premises. Thus, the termination of her lease did not amount to a forfeiture as that term is utilized under CPLR 215 (4). Forfeiture, according to the petitioner, applies only where the property sought to be recovered constitutes the proceeds of a crime.
