In-service withdrawals of salary deferral amounts are usually permitted only under hardship circumstances, whereas in-service withdrawals of employer contributions need not be limited to hardship.Withdrawals cannot be more than the participant’s vested account balance, and for participants who have participated in the plan for less than five years, their in-service withdrawal amounts can be further limited to amounts that have been in the plan for two-years or less.Get a copy of the Current Employer SPDOne way of determining if your current employer will allow you access your retirement funds while still working for them, is to check the summary plan description (SPD) for the existing 403b plan.

However, given your circumstance it might be best to collect the subsidized amount for the next couple months then move for eviction at the earliest time that will yield a move out order once the winter moratorium is lifted.Property Management is not for the faint of heart, I agree with @David Dachtera - it might be time to hire a good PM.
