Powell and her children are tenants of a public housing unit owned and managed by MCDA. In November, 1977, Powell signed a lease providing that she would pay a stated percentage of her total income as rent. The lease also provided that she should report any change in family income to MCDA within five working days of the change. On April 16, 1979, Powell admitted that she had been employed since November of 1978 and that she had not reported the income to MCDA. Because this failure amounted to underpayment of rent, MCDA filed an unlawful detainer action.
