“The owner must prevail,”
Maybe.
“because the owner’s rights occurred first at that location.”
What are the owner’s rights? The right to keep and bear arms is stated in the Bill of Rights. Where are the owners rights stated? The rights to life and liberty are stated in the Declaration of Independence. Do the owner’s rights, whatever they are, prevail over those too? Can the owner prevail and take a tenant’s life because the owners rights occurred first at that location? Can the owner prevail and curtail a tenant’s liberty right to leave because the owners rights occurred first at that location?
As far as I can tell, the whole “property rights” in relation to other rights is not defined very well.
“Naturally, the lease sure as crap must establish rules regarding such thing up front.”
I heartily agree with that.
