On August 1, 1977, the housing authority served the defendant with a notice to quit possession on or before August 31, 1977. The notice contained the following statement of reasons: "Maintaining a dog and maintaining an apartment and adjoining hallways so as to constitute serious interference with the health, safety and peaceful enjoyment of others." After the defendant's failure to vacate the *Page 517
