Harkins v. Win Corp.
District of Columbia Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court
PRYOR, Senior Judge:
Michael Harkins, Jr., appellant, appeals from the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of WIN Corp., appellee in Harkins’s suit for wrongful eviction. The trial court found that appellant was a roomer or lodger, as opposed to a tenant, and concluded that self-help “was a permissible method of eviction.” Appellant contends that the exclusive legislative remedy required for a landlord to regain possession from a tenant also must be used to evict a roomer. Being unpersuaded by this contention, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
