A tenant sued in a summary proceeding must either appear in person or hire an attorney to appear. The prohibition against a lay person appearing on behalf of the tenant in a summary proceeding must be enforced by the courts, even where the person appearing for the party has a duly executed power of attorney. Even where the parties are closely related and united in interest the proscription still applies.
