As to timing, MHFA moved to intervene here, and in Wideman, supra, as soon as was practicable after it became aware of these actions and of its interest in them. To the extent there are deficiencies in the record caused by the tardiness of MHFA’s intervention, those deficiencies have not prejudiced the tenants, nor has MHFA’s intervention caused more than a moderate delay in the proceedings. See Massachusetts Fed’n of Teachers v. School Comm. of Chelsea, supra at 209. Allowance of MHFA’s motion to intervene was well within the judge’s discretion. Having concluded that the case and the parties are properly before us, we turn to the substantive issues raised in this appeal, first summarizing the facts relevant to those issues.
