Landlords must establish just cause before terminating a tenancy and provide written notice describing the reason for termination.

Valid grounds for termination include nonpayment of rent (after tenant fails to cure following notice), repeated late rent payments (five or more times in 12 months with prior notice), or material lease violations after written notice to cease.

Landlords may terminate for tenant's refusal to renew or extend a lease, landlord or family member occupancy as principal residence, building demolition, conversion to cooperative or nonresidential use, or condo conversions (all requiring good faith intent).

Additional grounds include rehabilitation or renovation rendering the unit uninhabitable, compliance with government orders to vacate or abate, or termination of employment when occupancy was conditioned upon employment on the property.

Landlord must comply with chapter 515B and obtain necessary permits before terminating for demolition, conversion, or rehabilitation purposes.
