if there was no honest belief by the LL the LL's statements were true, why could it not be seen as nothing more than an attempt to cause distress for the tenant? I would see calling out the fire department and police for a situation not actually as described as outrageous.


conduct intended to inflict injury or engaged in with the realization that injury will result.'..."
exactly.


the problem with such a claim, as I see it, is it is based on the LL's opinion of the condition of the residence. That could defeat any claim to intentional attempts to cause distress. Saving materials to one person is hoarding to another.

almost everything that is not metal, and even some of things that are metal depending on the metal involved, is flammable so that statement is true regardless of the condition of the place.

and any time there is a level of storing material that does not allow all areas to be cleaned, there is a concern of vermin.

so, most likely there is no claim available. I was tossing it out there more as a pacifier than anything realizing the limitations of those involved would not likely allow such an action to be taken.
