The majority complain that the tenant could withhold rent and resist an unlawful detainer action before the landlord had an opportunity to obtain judicial review. What is really at stake, however, is the landlord’s ability to seek a stay of the Board’s order pending judicial review. “Before there was an opportunity for the court to pass on whether to stay temporarily the Board’s rent withholding order, tenant Plevka immediately withheld rent, and continued to do so for three months thereafter.” (Maj. opn., ante, at p. 377.) Apparently, this makes the order unconstitutional in the view of the majority, though they never explain why this is so.
