المعنى أن صاحب الملك يطلب استعادة أو استرجاع ما يؤجره، ولذلك أساب متعددة كما في المرجع أدناه
If you receive a paper called a Petition and Notice of Petition Holdover, your landlord has started a "Holdover proceeding" against you. This is a court action in which your landlord is demanding possession of the apartment and wants to evict you. A Holdover proceeding is brought against a tenant whether or not the tenant has paid rent.
Some Reasons A Tenant Might Receive A Holdover

The landlord claims that:

1. You live in a building with less than six apartments that is not rent-stabilized or rent-controlled, the landlord might begin a holdover proceeding when the lease runs out or if there is no lease and the landlord wants to evict you.
2. You violated the terms of your lease.
3. You or your guest or family member created a public nuisance or is involved in criminal activity.
4. You repeatedly refused to allow the landlord access to your apartment at a reasonable hour when the landlord has good reason to gain access such as in an emergency or to make repairs.
5. The landlord wants to use the apartment for the landlord's family. There are important restrictions on when a landlord can evict a tenant to use the apartment for his/her own use, so seek advice if you receive a Holdover Petition for owner occupancy.
6. You are a rent stabilized tenant and refuse to sign a renewal lease when a proper lease has been offered and remain in the apartment after the current lease has expired.
7. You used the apartment for a purpose other than what was allowed by the lease.
8. You repeatedly failed to pay rent on time.
