At least three tenants complained about the large number of people coming and going at all hours and the filming of tenants and common areas without permission, according to documents Bornstein sent to Justin.tv.

I'd be miffed if the nature of the block I rented in changed to match the above description. The odd party, fine, OK. But the larger foot-fall can be disruptive, especially if you're trying to work at home.

The landlord can probably easily re-fill the apartments with low-hassle tenants, just like the justin.tv crowd used to be, so he'd be daft not to. Ignoring complaints from other tenants wouldn't be a good thing for the landlord to do either.

Whilst awkward for those being evicted, it isn't too surprising, and may be best for justin.tv in the long run, e.g. forcing them to find a more interesting location.
