If a tenant violates the rental agreement by farming in the backyard, occupying space

[yum]

If a tenant violates the rental agreement by farming in the backyard, occupying spaces, and blocking common areas—especially if this creates unsafe and uninhabitable conditions for an elderly or disabled tenant—there are several steps you can take:

1. **Document the Violations**: Take photos or videos of the violations, including the blocked common areas and any unsafe conditions.

2. **Review the Rental Agreement**: Check the rental agreement to confirm the specific terms being violated, such as rules about common areas, property use, or safety.

3. **Notify the Landlord or Property Manager**: Report the issue to the landlord or property manager in writing. Include the documentation of the violations and how they are impacting safety and access.

4. **Request Immediate Action**: Ask the landlord to take immediate steps to resolve the situation, such as asking the violating tenant to remove the obstructions and cease unauthorized activities.

5. **Involve Local Authorities**: If the landlord does not address the issue, you may need to contact local housing authorities or code enforcement. They can inspect the property and enforce safety and habitability standards.

6. **Seek Legal Advice**: If the situation is not resolved, consider consulting a lawyer or tenant advocacy group. They can provide guidance on how to protect your rights and ensure your living conditions are safe.

7. **Consider Mediation**: If feasible, mediation can sometimes help resolve disputes between tenants without legal action.

Addressing these issues promptly is important to ensure your safety and well-being in your living environment.
