The court of appeals affirmed the trial court, turning to federal statutes to determine the trial court’s scope of review of MPHA eviction decisions.2 The court of appeals stated that court review of public housing authority (PHA) evictions is not “limited to the issue of whether the facts establish a violation of the lease,” and allowed the trial court considerable latitude to review equitable circumstances surrounding the eviction.3 It also noted that as Lor had been barred from MPHA’s grievance procedure, trial court review was particularly important to provide adequate due process protections.4 The court of appeals then concluded that the trial court was not clearly erroneous in barring eviction in light of the hardships Lor would face in securing new housing.5
