The tenant is committing or permitting to exist a nuisance in, or is causing damage to, the rental unit or to the appurtenance thereof, or to the common areas of the property containing the rental unit, or is creating an unreasonable interference with comfort, safety, or enjoyment of any of the other residents of the same or any adjacent building; 4. The tenant is using or permitting a rental unit to be used for any illegal purpose; 5.
