The legislative intent was to allow a landlord to rid its property of tenants who commit conduct of a serious criminal nature. To find otherwise would allow for some absurd results. For example, if a tenant committed a sexual assault on a neighbor in an apartment house, would the tenant be permitted to remain and be given a right to cure if the charge were reduced to a simple assault as a result of a plea bargain? Obviously, this was not the legislative intent. The mere attempt to commit a crime of violence, whether charged or not, is sufficient regardless of the outcome.
