Synopsis
In this source of income discrimination case, the plaintiff tenant, obtained a preliminary injunction preventing the landlord, from commencing a nonpayment proceeding. The court found that the landlord repeatedly obstructed tenant's attempt to use her Emergency Housing Voucher for "leasing in place" by refusing to submit necessary paperwork, citing arrears, and failing to provide a valid Tax ID. The injunction was granted to preserve tenant's voucher and residency, emphasizing the landlord's obligation under New York City and State Human Rights Laws to accept lawful sources of income.
