Angel Trumpet root system/problems with foundation

Hello,

I recently moved into a new house that has a beautiful angels' trumpet (yellow flowers) out back right up against the side of the house. The plant is doing very well but my landlord insists that the root system is hurting the foundation of the house and wants the whole plant dug up. I insisted that I would keep it cut back, he literally had it cut to the ground for the past 3 summer. Does anybody know if his worry is founded on anything legitimate? How deep does the root system go and is it capable of hurting the foundation. I love this plant and really hope I can talk him into letting me keep it. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated! ~KC
