On November 27, 1987, over McKenzie’s objection, the judge presiding in the Landlord and Tenant Branch entered a protective order requiring McKenzie to pay $1098 per month — the amount of the increased rent— into the registry of the court.3 After initially making the payments specified in the protective order, McKenzie failed to do so beginning in July 1988, and the McCullochs filed a motion for judgment. See Mahdi v. Poretsky Mgmt. Inc., 433 A.2d 1085 (D.C.1981) (per curiam). The motion was granted and, on May 17, 1989, a writ of restitution was issued. After further unsuccessful motions and appeals, McKenzie was evicted on June 29, 1989, rendering moot the McCullochs’ claim for possession, but leaving unresolved the parties’ differences over the amount of rent due and owing.
