Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “the agency shall have the sole right to give notice to vacate, with the owner having the right to make representation to the agency for termination of tenancy.”
    3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority
  2. “For the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to dictate the procedure to be followed before a tenant is evicted, two conditions must be met. First the tenant must have an expectation, rising to the status of property interest, of remaining in his home in the absence of good cause for eviction. Second, an eviction must constitute state action.”
    1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority
  3. “the landlord can never avail himself of a summary end-of-term eviction proceeding in state court. The eviction proceeding in state court must be brought, if at all, for cause. That proceeding will provide the tenant with all the process that is due. A hearing before the housing agency therefore is not constitutionally required.”
