Louise Albert as tenant entered into a lease with Joseph Summer to rent his condominium unit at the Foxwood Square condominium I in Staten Island, New York. Under the lease, Albert was to pay a monthly rent of $750. She paid her monthly rent from August 1991, when she took occupancy of the unit, to May 1992. The June 1992 rent was returned to her by Summer, who told her that she was no longer required to pay rent because he was filing for bankruptcy protection.
