Eviction Case Based on Drug Activity Dismissed

June 27, 2017

LVT Number: #27775

Landlord sued to evict tenant for illegal activities in his apartment. Tenant claimed that landlord's 10-day termination notice was vague and that the case should be dismissed. The court ruled for tenant and dismissed the case. Landlord claimed that envelopes containing drugs were found by the police in tenant's apartment, but landlord's conclusory statements based on a drug raid at the apartment were insufficient. There was no documentation otherwise supporting landlord's claims.
