Synopsis
The pro se tenant filed an Order to Show Cause seeking restoration to possession after a default judgment led to eviction. The landlord’s counsel failed to appear on time, exhibiting inappropriate behavior when contacted by court staff. As a result, the court granted the tenant’s motion by default, vacating the judgment and warrant of eviction, and ordered the tenant’s immediate restoration to possession. The court set a later date for the landlord’s counsel to present cause for avoiding sanctions and possible referral to a disciplinary committee due to his conduct.
