Landlord sued to evict tenant for chronic nonpayment of rent. The court ruled against landlord. Landlord appealed and lost. Landlord had never previously sued to evict tenant for nonpayment of rent. Since landlord didn't show that it had started prior nonpayment cases against tenant, there was no basis to evict tenant for chronic nonpayment.
