In Coronet Properties Co. v. Jennie & Co. Film Productions, Inc. (121 Misc 2d 873 [Civ Ct, NY County 1983]), the lease expired by its terms on August 31, but on August 6, the landlord notified tenant "that it elected to terminate [the tenant's] occupancy at the expiration of the lease term ... and that eviction proceedings would be commenced unless it vacated by September 30"; the landlord then accepted and cashed the tenant's check for September's rent. (Id. at 873-874.) The court stated that "in order to remove the tenant at the end of that month, service of a 30-day notice under section 232-a ... was required." (Id. at 875.)
