Indeed, the majority’s interpretation is at odds not only
with the statutory text, but with the interpretations of the other
two branches of government as well. HUD—the expert agency
tasked with administering this statute—has found a right to
remain. Every court to interpret this statute, until this
litigation, has found a right to remain. There is complete
consensus on what this statute means: landlords may not evict
enhanced voucher-holders without cause. The majority all but
ignores these cases and administrative interpretations, even as
it instead battles the strawman of perpetual tenancies that can
never be ended—an interpretation that no one advances: not
the Hayes family, not HUD, and not other courts. As a result,
this Court is left standing alone. I must dissent. 1
