Head Matter:
In the Matter of Hattie McCoy et al., Appellants, against Joseph D. McGoldrick, Constituting the Temporary State Housing Rent Commission, Respondent.
Argued November 26, 1951;
decided December 7, 1951.
Maurice R. Whitebook, Harry Fractenberg and I. William Garfield for appellants.

Section 2 of the State Emergency Housing Rent Control Law (L. 1950, ch. 250, as amd.) and section 5, formerly section 12 thereof, permit the issuance by the commission of an eviction certificate as to a rooming house like the one here involved only when " no part of the accommodations is used by the tenant as his dwelling " (§ 5, subd. 2, par. [b]). No opinion.
