An Arizona woman’s landlord accused her of a crime. It cost her family their home

Tiffany Johnson was evicted from her Tucson apartment after confronting boys who hit her autistic daughter with a ball at a community pool — not by police, but by her landlord citing Arizona’s “Crime Free Lease Addendum.” This clause lets landlords evict tenants over alleged misconduct without charges or convictions, disproportionately harming poor and non-White renters, according to an investigation showing the policy does not reduce crime but increases evictions.
