A: Whether or not you can sue will depend on the exact language of the lease. Leases almost always have a termination clause in them allowing the landlord to terminate the lease upon some or no reasons with proper notice. If the lease says that termination can only be had upon mutual agreement, then it is a non-cancellable lease and you are entitled to possession throughout the term of the lease.
