*1130The structure of the statute suggests that tenants, household members, and guests are per se under the tenant’s control and, therefore, the drug related criminal activity of anyone in one of these categories is cause for eviction. The tenant exercises “control” over these individuals when he or she permits them to reside in or visit the premises. No additional level of “control” is necessary. Congress’s use of the disjunctive connector “or” followed by the phrase “other person” shows it intended a fourth category of “other persons” who did not fall into the three enumerated categories, but whose drug activity could nevertheless result in eviction.
