Just Cause Eviction Laws

Just Cause eviction laws require landlords to provide specific, valid reasons for ending a tenancy, such as non-payment or lease violations. These laws aim to protect tenants from arbitrary or retaliatory evictions by ensuring landlords can't terminate leases without valid cause. Typically, landlords must follow legal procedures and provide notice before eviction. The goal is to promote stability and fairness in renting by balancing landlords’ rights to manage their property with tenants’ rights to secure housing.
