Q) One of my tenants, in a rent controlled building, left some candles lit and it set off the smoke detectors causing the fire department to respond. They broke down the door to let the smoke out. Can I evict the tenants? Can I make the tenants responsible for replacing the damaged unit door?
A) Since this was only a one time incident of negligence by the tenant it is not considered a nuisance and is not grounds for an eviction. The tenant is responsible for the damage caused by the for department.
