Crime & Drug Free Housing
As part of the execution or renewal of any lease at any of Northern Management’s housing, the following is understood and agreed to by the resident and by management:
1. The resident, any members of the resident’s household, a visitor or any other person under the resident’s control shall not engage in criminal activity, including drug-related criminal activity, on or near the said premises. “Drug-related criminal activity” means the illegal manufacture, sale, distribution, use or possession with intent to manufacture, sell distribute or use a controlled substance (as defined in Section 102 of the Controlled Substance Act [21 U.S.C 802]), or possession of drug paraphernalia.
2. The resident, any member of the resident’s household or a visitor or any other person under the resident’s control shall not engage in any act intended to facilitate criminal activity, including drug-related criminal activity, on or near the said premises.
3. The resident or any members of the resident’s household or a visitor or any other person under the resident’s control shall not permit the dwelling to be used for or to facilitate criminal activity, including drug-related criminal activity, regardless of whether the individual engaging in such activity is a member of the household or a visitor or any other person under the resident’s control.
4. The resident or any member of the resident’s household or a visitor or any other person under the resident’s control shall not engage in the unlawful manufacturing, selling, using, storing, keeping or giving of a controlled substance at any locations, whether on or near the dwelling or otherwise.
5. The resident or any member of the resident’s household or a visitor or any other person under the resident’s control shall not engage in any criminal activity, including prostitution, criminal street gang activity, threatening or intimidating or assaultive behavior including but not limited to, the unlawful discharge of a firearm on or near the premises of the dwelling or any other acts or threats of violence, or any breach of the lease agreement that otherwise jeopardizes the health, safety or welfare of management, agents of management or other residents, or involves imminent or actual personal injury or serious property damage.
6. Violation of any of these provisions shall be a material and irreparable violation of the lease and good cause for immediate termination of tenancy. Any single violation of any of these provisions shall be deemed a serious violation and material non-compliance with the lease. The resident understands and agrees that any single violation shall be good cause for immediate termination of tenancy. Unless otherwise provided by law, proof of violation shall not require criminal conviction, but shall be by the preponderance of the evidence. In the event of any conflict between these provisions and any other provisions of the lease, these provisions shall govern.
