What happened

TCHC sought to enforce an eviction order against Mohamed due to significant rent arrears. The case involved jurisdictional issues and questions about the validity of a previous court order authorizing eviction after delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ruling

The court granted leave to issue a writ of possession based on the valid May 21, 2021 order, allowing TCHC to proceed with Mohamed's eviction. The court found that the equities favored TCHC, given Mohamed's long-standing failure to pay rent and the unfairness to others waiting for subsidized housing.
