After commencement of an action under § 42-3602 and upon request of a party, the Court shall hold a hearing to determine if a preliminary injunction should be granted to prevent a tenant from directly or indirectly maintaining a drug haven or nuisance. The Court may grant a motion for a preliminary injunction if the plaintiff meets the necessary legal requirements for a preliminary injunction. The factors that the Court shall consider in determining whether the plaintiff is entitled to a preliminary injunction are: Whether the plaintiff is likely to prevail on the merits of the case; Whether, in the absence of relief, the plaintiff will suffer irreparable harm; Whether there will be substantial harm to the defendant or another party if relief is granted; and Whether the public interest favors granting relief. The housing provider and the Mayor shall not be required to give bond to obtain an injunction.
