Can a landlord evict a tenant if rent is paid in full and they not late on any past rent?
Question Details:
If rent is not an issue, a tenant can still be evicted for doing something that is a breach of the lease.
If the tenant has not committed any breach of the lease but is being evicted, this is a retaliatory eviction. Retaliatory eviction means the landlord is retaliating against the tenant for something that is not a breach of the lease. The tenant can assert the defense of retaliatory eviction or can sue the landlord for retaliatory eviction.
