Description

Appellant Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) contends that when a public housing authority brings an unlawful detainer action against one of its tenants on the basis of alleged criminal activity by a household member, trial courts may not consider facts other than whether the tenant actually violated the lease. As the trial court considered the hardship respondent tenant Mai Lor would face in finding a new apartment, MPHA claims that the trial court reached beyond its powers in ruling for Lor. We conclude that the trial court has the power to review unlawful detainer actions de novo to determine whether the lease was materially breached. The trial court did not make findings on whether Lor materially breached her lease but instead considered equitable circumstances in allowing her to retain her apartment. We reverse the trial court and hold, based upon the trial court's record, that Lor materially breached her lease and should be evicted.
