The majority, citing Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (11th Ed.2011), acknowledges that the common meaning of purpose is "something set up as an object or end to be attained...." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) It is self-evident, however, that the object or end of a tenant's activity is not to create an unsafe condition, although such a result may be the effect of the object to be obtained. Therefore, the majority's construction ascribes an unnatural meaning to the statute.
