We agree with the circuit court's reasoning and further comment that the United States Supreme Court and HUD have urged that the right to evict innocent tenants who unknowingly invite guests who participate in illegal drug-related activity onto the premises be exercised with compassion. Conferring the opportunity to remedy the violation is, in this court's view, in conformity with the cautionary remarks of the United States Supreme Court and HUD. See also Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority v. Harris, 139 Ohio Misc.2d 96, 99, 861 N.E.2d 179, 181 (2006) (the court held that Rucker "does not provide a basis for preempting or limiting this court's equity powers.").
