Surely it is the responsibility of the landlord unless:
- the tenant introduced the termites to the house, or
- this responsibility has been specifically assigned to the tenant in a written lease
that the Landlord will follow the law. if the tenant leaves the house in good condition, the landlord must refund the entire amount of security deposit.
The landlord can correct the problems for which the house can be potentially condemned. But the landlord cannot evict the tenant just for saying that.

In "Ballad of the Landlord" by Langston Hughes, some symbols include the "broken windows" representing the deteriorating living conditions for the tenant, the "leak in the roof" symbolizing neglect by the landlord, and the "slops" symbolizing the tenant's poverty and struggle with basic necessities. These symbols highlight the themes of social injustice and unequal power dynamics between landlords and tenants.
As long as the notice is sufficient, and there is no unexpired lease, the landlord can ask a tenant to leave for no reason at all.
Once a lease is mutually agreed upon (signed by both sides) it generally must be honored. But if the landlord asked the potential new tenant if he has a criminal record, that tenant denies such, and it is found out later that he has one, yes: the landlord can terminate the lease for fraud.
The property may go into foreclosure, but that has nothing to do with the tenant. Until there is a foreclosue sale, the tenant is obligated to pay rent to the owner.
