January 1, 2000

LVT Number: 13812

Landlord sued to evict tenant for creating a nuisance. The court ruled for landlord after a trial and an inspection of the apartment. Tenant appealed and lost. The lower court fairly based its decision on the facts. Tenant had created a nuisance by accumulating excessive refuse, furniture, and newspapers in the apartment and out into the hallway. The condition prevented access to the apartment. Landlord couldn't make required repairs. Tenant didn't correct the condition after the trial, even though given a chance by the court to do so.
