Tenancy: eviction: notices.

Existing law defines public and private nuisance. Existing law provides that a public nuisance may be remedied by an indictment or information, a civil action, or abatement and that a private nuisance may be remedied by a civil action or abatement. Existing law regulates evictions and provides that a tenant who commits, or permits the maintenance of, a nuisance upon the premises thereby terminates his or her lease and is subject to eviction. This bill would provide that a building or property used to conduct dogfighting or cockfighting in violation of specified criminal provisions is a public nuisance and would specify that a tenant who commits or maintains this nuisance may be evicted.
