[§356D-18] Remedies of an obligee; mandamus; injunction; possessory action; receiver; accounting; etc. An obligee of the authority shall have the right, in addition to all other rights that may be conferred on the obligee subject only to any contractual restrictions binding upon the obligee, and subject to the prior and superior rights of others:

(1) By mandamus, suit, action, or proceeding in law or equity to compel the authority, and the members of the board, officers, agents, or employees thereof to perform each and every item, provision, and covenant contained in any contract of the authority, and to require the carrying out of any or all covenants and agreements of the authority and the fulfillment of all duties imposed upon the authority by this chapter;

(2) By suit, action, or proceeding in equity to enjoin any acts or things which may be unlawful, or the violation of any of the rights of the obligee of the authority;

(3) By suit, action, or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction to cause possession of any public housing project or any part thereof to be surrendered to any obligee having the right to possession pursuant to any contract of the authority;

(4) By suit, action, or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction, upon the happening of an event of default (as defined in a contract of the authority), to obtain the appointment of a receiver for any public housing project of the authority or any part or parts thereof. If a receiver is appointed, the receiver may enter and take possession of the public housing project or any part or parts thereof, operate and maintain the project, and collect and receive all fees, rents, revenues, or other charges thereafter arising therefrom in the same manner as the authority itself might do and shall keep the moneys in a separate account or accounts and apply the moneys in accordance with the obligations of the authority as the court shall direct; and

(5) By suit, action, or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction to require the authority and the members of the board thereof to account as if it and they were the trustees of an express trust. [L 2006, c 180, pt of §2]
