My guess: the owners are uncomfortable with the privacy implications of Justin.TV. After all, everyone that Justin encounters ends up being broadcast live over the Internet. Many other tenants in the YScraper may not want to end up with their mugshot on the net. This also explains why they would evict anyone who regularly comes in contact with Justin: if they're friends with Justin, then Justin is likely to come over and visit, with potentially negative privacy implications for other tenants.
