Amherst Housing v. Paolini

In this Western Housing Court case the judge denied a motion to dismiss where the tenant raised they were not served in accordance with the lease. Here the lease required the notice of termination be sent via first class mail if no one answered the door. Here no one answered the door, nor was the notice to quit sent via first class mail. 

The, the court found that the defect in service was not a material error or omission that had a meaningful practical effect and set the case and set the case for trial.
