The Court held the 1961 communications did not create proprietary rights or an irrevocable licence enforceable against the Housing Authority; occupation permits issued under the Resettlement Ordinance remained determinable and the notices to quit were valid; no unconscionable conduct or proprietary estoppel arose to entitle the applicants to damages, so the appeals fail (procedural irregularities in joinder noted but did not alter outcome).
