Reply to comment by degggendorf in Man claims self-defense in Providence landlord homicide by Rogue-Island-Pirate

Most leases place specific restrictions on long-term subleasing “guests.”

And you read this lease to be able to so definitively say he "had no legal right to be there"?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that if he wasn’t the leaseholder/tenant, and was inhabiting the unit after the tenant abandoned it (as the article suggests), the balance of evidence suggests he probably was squatting or trespassing.

Of course, there’s always the possibility that this is the rare exception, but it’s a rare exception for a reason.

The language you use in this comment seems to more accurately convey speculation, as opposed to how you initially phrased it.

I generally apply Occam’s Razor to most situations. It has rarely failed to deliver.

One of the more annoying responses to common sense observations is endless demands for citations… from folks who never cite anything themselves.

Yeah it must be annoying not being able to just say whatever you want without regard for its accuracy

Well gosh, it’s equally pleasing to have you there to parse my every word to impute meaning that wasn’t communicated! So I’m doubly lucky!

Such guardians of “accuracy” truly improve society 😁

The most simple and common scenario would be assuming he was just the guest of the tenet, not some bizarre scenario you've concocted.
