o. Conviction of Assaulting or Threatening the Landlord, His Family or Employees
The landlord may file for eviction, if the tenant has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to, or if a
juvenile has been found by the court to be delinquent due to an offense involving assault or terrorist
threats against the landlord, a member of the landlord’s family or an employee of the landlord.
Also, if the tenant permits a person he knows has been convicted of or has pleaded guilty to these
actions to reside at the premises continuously or occasionally, the landlord may file suit for eviction.
No eviction suit may be brought more than two years after: the juvenile was found to be
delinquent; conviction of the person; or after the person’s release from incarceration whichever
is later. A Notice to Quit must be served on the tenant at least three days prior to filing a suit for
eviction.
