It is apparent that the landlord cannot say that there has been no eviction merely because he did not rent the premises for an unlawful purpose. If he leases the premises, not knowing the character of the tenant and for a lawful purpose and afterwards a nuisance, such as a house of prostitution, is maintained by the landlord’s sufferance, connivance or consent, then he has been guilty of a constructive eviction of *424a tenant who is forced to move on account of the nuisance. [Wilheim v. Baxter, 46 Colo. 155; 1 Taylor on Landlord and Tenant (9 Ed.), sec. 316; McAdam on Landlord and Tenant (4 Ed.), sec. 404.
