Resident Not Liable for Actions of Her Guests

Facts: A resident’s sister and other guests engaged in a physical and verbal altercation with another resident of the site. The altercation was captured on video, and the police responded to the site. As a result, the owner sent the resident a notice to vacate based on the alleged breach of the lease, the Rules and Regulations, and the state’s landlord-tenant code. The resident didn’t vacate the unit, so the owner sued for possession of the unit.
