5.2.6 Appeal Bond

Steward v. West.1  Payment of rent allowed as bond for subsidized tenant’s injunction against eviction.

Guste Homes Resident Management Corp. v. Thomas.2  Trial court abused discretion by setting appeal bond at $801 where public housing tenant’s rent was only $247 and tenant had previously been granted in forma pauperis status. Court of Appeal ordered bond set at $200.00 and noted “nothing in this Court’s ruling should be construed to prevent realtor from continuing to pay his rent in accordance with the terms of his lease.”
