Warrant Permanently Delayed

LVT Number: 19065

Landlord sued to evict tenant for nonpayment of rent. The court ruled for landlord and issued an eviction warrant. Tenant later asked the court to delay the eviction and won. Landlord appealed and lost. Tenant paid the full amount of the nonpayment owed. The lower court properly delayed the warrant permanently for good cause, to avoid loss of long-term, rent-stabilized tenancy.
