Court of Appeals of New York
In the Matter of Perez v. Rhea, 26
The New York City Housing Authority's termination of petitioner's tenancy was not so disproportionate to her misconduct as to shock the judicial conscience, and therefore did not constitute an abuse of discretion as a matter of law, where: 1) petitioner misrepresented that she had no income, allowing her to receive a substantial rent subsidy, for which she was charged with larceny and ordered to pay restitution; and 2) a vital public interest underlies the need to enforce income rules pertaining to public housing.
