Celebrating a Victory for Our Client: The Power of Mentorship, Partnership, and Mission

Today, we have an incredible victory to celebrate.

The South Carolina Court of Appeals reversed the circuit court's decision in Rush v. Shady Moss Apartments, securing an important victory for our client, Jeffery Rush. The Court held that Mr. Rush was entitled to the opportunity to cure an alleged lease violation before facing eviction, a decision that preserves fundamental due process protections for tenants in federally subsidized housing and reinforces the principle that housing stability should not be lost without the protections the law requires.

This outcome is far more than an appellate win. It represents our mission in action.
