It's encouraging to know that, potentially, only the the length of time
required for an eviction proceeding stands between having an
affordable place to live and being forced to move. What basis do you
have for your optimistic prediction that this will not come to pass?
I have not heard any comments from Bruno & Co. which would indicate
anything other than an unadulturated expiration of Rent Regs.
