  • Facts: The defendants used residential premises for business, failing to pay rent, accruing $304,054 in arrears. The dispute involved complex legal maneuvers, including default judgments and the elusive identity of a defendant known as Jane Doe.

    Issues: The court examined service validity, the legitimacy of rent arrears, and the motion to set aside the default. The credibility of the defendants’ claims and the identity of Jane Doe were scrutinized.

    Court's Ruling:

  • Validated service on Jane Doe, noting her in default.
  • Dismissed the defendants' motion to set aside their default.
  • Ordered the termination of tenancy and immediate vacation of the premises by the defendants.
  • Granted the plaintiffs a default judgment against the defendants for $304,054 in rent arrears, $100,000 in punitive damages, plus interest and costs.
  • Costs/Damages:

  • Defendants were jointly and severally liable for $304,054 in rent arrears and $100,000 in punitive damages, with additional interest and costs to be determined.
