Synopsis
In this licensee holdover, the landlord sought to subpoena HRA for a deceased tenant's APS records to disprove the tenant's co-residency for a succession claim. HRA moved to quash, arguing the subpoena was procedurally defective for lack of a motion and personal service, and that the records were confidential. The court granted the motion to quash the original subpoena but, over HRA's objection on confidentiality, allowed a new subpoena to be served correctly. The court limited the scope of the new subpoena to a two-year window and issued a protective order to prevent embarrassment and abuse, balancing the need for evidence with confidentiality concerns.
