The landlord usually
commences this
proceeding as a
substantial
violation of a lease or as a nuisance. In one
case, that is still in litigation, the landlord sent out a non-renewal
notice.
The government has sat back
and has failed to promulgate any objective standards for the Court to
follow.
What will often happen is when you go to Court to answer this
proceeding the landlord’s attorney will try to get you to sign a
stipulation which puts you on probation for a period of time in the
future.
The tenant, of course, wants to stop
coming to court and sees nothing wrong with signing this stipulation.
What is really going on is by signing this stipulation you are putting
your head in the lion’s mouth and it will be most difficult to come
out with your head.
