Phil Querin Q&A: Security Camera Stolen - 30 Day Notice or 24 hour Notice

Phil Querin

Question: A community’s security camera taped one of the residents one night cutting the line and stealing the camera.   The landlord wants to give a 30 day notice.  Any issues the landlord should be aware of since it was video-taped?  If the accused resident does nothing wrong again in the community after the 30-day notice has been served - then he gets to stay correct?  Even though he does not return the camera or pay damages?
