Ah, yes; how dare she be evicted for threatening to burn the building down, refusing to pay rent, refusing to attend court summons, complaining about her neighbors for having the temerity to turn on a sprinkler, and turning her home into a disgusting pit? Clearly those are all natural rights of tenants, and the landlord should have just accepted her with all her quirks when he bought the property.
Come on. It's sad that she got evicted, but to imply in any way that the tenant is blameless seems ridiculous. You don't get a free pass to be an asshole just because you're old; you're still obligated to try and work with the system.
Given the "[a]t first, Withrington accepted Inge’s presence", I would think that if she'd been a clean and polite tenant it's entirely possible the new landlord would have had no motivation to evict her. There may not even have been the complaint, given the article's not-so-subtle way of saying "maybe the landlord submitted it!!".
