1Opinion of the Court
SCHWELB, Associate Judge:
During the course of a bench trial in this dispute between a landlord and a tenant, the judge entered judgment in the tenant’s favor upon the ground that the landlord failed to serve a Notice to Cure Violations of Tenants or Vacate (the notice) in the manner required by law.
