Johnson v. Vosberg

Summary

The court held that it had appellate jurisdiction over the tenant's appeal from the judgment for restitution of the premises, even though claims for unpaid rent and willful holdover remained pending, because the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act permits an immediate appeal from a possession judgment. The court nevertheless dismissed the appeal as moot because the lease term had expired, the tenant had vacated, and no meaningful relief remained available. The court also declined to apply the public interest or collateral consequences exceptions to mootness.
