A: That is not a legal reason to evict. The landlord's rights to terminate your tenancy are based on the terms of your written lease. If you happen to have a month-to-month tenancy based just on a verbal agreement, he may terminate the tenancy anytime he feels like it (and doesn't need any reason), as long as he gives you written notice at least 15 calendar days prior the end of the monthly period covered by the rent.
