A Weighted Defense
I represent condo and homeowners’ associations. One of my condo association clients wanted to evict some tenants. When I asked why, his answer stunned me. He wanted to do it because they were fat. I am not even joking. Now, the law does, in some cases, allow the association to evict non-owner tenants. This is very fact-specific, however, and hard to do.
I spent a long time trying to elicit from my client exactly what these tenants were doing that warranted eviction. Client: “Well, they’re just disgusting people! They are fat”! Me: (exasperated) “You can’t evict someone because they’re fat”! We did not end up filing suit.
