In Fannie Mae v. Lindo (177 Misc 2d 1003, 678 NYS2d 477 [Nassau Dist Ct 1998]), the issue raised pertained to a 10-day notice to quit served upon respondent by the petitioner's counsel. In that case, a mortgage was foreclosed, and no landlord-tenant relationship existed. (Id. at 1004) The court accordingly concluded that the 10-day notice to quit was defective because the law firm representing the petitioner signed the notice and had not previously dealt with, and was not known to the occupant of the premises.
