The Law

While assault is naturally illegal everywhere, this highly specific town ordinance was allegedly drafted after a disgruntled tenant chomped down on their property owner during a rent dispute. The town decided to make it unequivocally clear that utilizing your teeth in a housing disagreement was unacceptable. Even in the face of steep rent hikes, tenants must keep their pearly whites to themselves.
