HOUSING AUTHORITY OF JOLIET v. Keys
Appellate Court of Illinois
Decided December 14, 2001No. 3-00-0902PublishedCited by 4 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Lytton
The plaintiff, Housing Authority of Joliet (Housing Authority), brought a forcible entry and detainer action against defendant, Patricia Keys, to evict Keys from her residence. The trial court held that public housing tenants cannot be evicted for the criminal activities of guests or family members over whom they have no control. We affirm.
Keys is a tenant in federally subsidized public housing managed by the Housing Authority. Her adult grandson, Jeffrey Campbell, was named as a household member on her lease and resided with her but was not a party to the lease.
