Landlord's Rights

In the movie “Pacific Heights” the landlords were undeniably not at fault in the fact that the tenant not only walked onto the premise with no true legal rights to do so, he had not fulfilled his contractual obligation in paying a security deposit and his first month’s rent. Immediately the landlord should have evicted the tenant under the rights of the contract after a single notification to the tenant. On top of that fact the tenant had changed the locks without notifying the landlord and was causing unreasonable amounts of noise and disturbance among the other tenants. It is completely within the landlords rights (unless contractually written in the agreement written and signed upon by both parties before moving in) that with one notice to the tenant the security deposit can be either refunded or withheld and the tenant evicted at the landlords leisure. In “Pacific Heights” the tenant broke multiple non contractual laws as well as disturbing the peace within the establishment, not paying his month’s rent, not paying his security deposit, trespassing at the beginning of the movie, changing locks without notification to the landlord, and creating unrest among the other tenants and the landlord by notifying the police due to a minor inconvenience that could be talked out civilly between two individuals or two parties. This was only within the first 45 minutes of the movie that we had witnessed, not counting possibly multiple other things law and contract breaking by this unruly and unreasoning tenant.
