Too drunk to be evicted

Just when I thought I had seen it all. 

In court today trying to evict an inherited tenant in a managed unit. The judge actually continued the hearing a week as the tenant was deemed incapable of making sound decisions due to the fact that he arrived heavily intoxicated. 

If the tenant had arrived sober the landlord would have prevailed and the tenant evicted....but because he could barely hold himself upright he lives to see at least one more week of free rent.

It's a crazy world we operate in.

But he wasn't too drunk to remember his court date and find the courtroom?
