Decided August 15, 1898

City of New York Municipal Court · decided 1898-08-15

<p>Appeal from interlocutory judgment overruling demurrer to defendant’s counterclaim.</p>

Decided 1898-08-15

Schuchman, J.

¶1The complaint sets up a cause of action for rents for January, February and March, 1898, for a store and cellar. The answer admits the cause of action set forth in the complaint and alleges by way of counterclaim damages arising to the use and occupation of the said premises for the month of November, 1897. It does not allege a-covenant on the-landlord’s part to repair. The answer, therefore, does not contain a good *771cause of action by way of counterclaim. Reissman v. Jacobowitz, 22 Misc. Rep. 551.

¶2Judgment appealed from reversed, with costs, and demurrer to counterclaim sustained, with costs to plaintiff.
