$($L$.$O$.1,2,3,$ and $4)$

As the owner of the Corporate Center in Springfield, Illinois, you must respond to the request of Troy E$.$ Washko, one of the tenants in your two$-$story office building. Mr$.$ Washko, a CPA, demands that you immediately evict a neighboring tenant who plays loud music throughout the day, interfering with Mr$.$ Washko$$s conversations with clients and with his concentration. The noisy tenant, Robert Murphy, seems to operate an entertainment booking agency and spends long hours in his office.

You know you can$$t evict Mr$.$ Murphy because, as a legal commercial tenant, he is entitled to conduct his business.
