a landlord can evict you for non-payment of rent or being consistantly late paying,,, disruptive behaviour, drug abuse, loud noise after 11pm, filthy premises, and too many people living there, these are the main reasons for an eviction. Another reason although not a common one is when the landlord wants the unit for his own use or for a person in his family.

Can a landlord evict a guest for a noise complaint if the tenant was causing the noise?
Yes. If a tenant is not in the habit of making a lot of noise then the landlord would not have much grounds to evict them. However, if a tenant is a problem for other renters, how a landlord evicts someone depends on the state in which he lives. Usually, a landlord could evict a person even if they have a lease for violating city codes for noise. A landlord would be wise to put such stipulations in their leases. This is based on the number of complaints the police receive concerning the noise or the number of complaints a landlord receives. In some states, all a landlord has to do is send a registered letter to the tenant notifying them of the complaint and that they are on notice to cease and desist or face eviction. If the tenant continues to bother others with their noise, then the landlord can notify the Sheriff's Department to evict the tenant. Of course this will not prevent the tenant from taking the landlord to court. This is why the landlord needs to keep good records and copies of police reports concerning the tenant to use in court.
If a landlord is in foreclosure can she evict the tenant of the same property?
A landlord can evict you no matter what because it's her property and she can do whatever she wants with it. But if you think of it, if she doesn't own the property anymore, who would you pay rent to, and you just can't live there for free and I'm pretty sure you can't pay the bank rent.

Can a landlord put a tenant out for a drug bust or do we have to evict them?
No landlord should ever be kicking a tenant out himself. Go to court and get an order. Most states have a very accelerated process for evicting based on drugs and other crimes. In Massachusetts, where it normally takes at least seven weeks to have a tenant out, a landlord can evict based on drugs in four days. State and local laws should be checked out. And, different laws may apply in other countries.

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.
Can a landlord verbally evict you on the phone?
Yes they can. But it cannot be enforced in that manner. To evict you, the landlord must follow proper written procedures. Sure, a landlord can call you by telephone and ask you to leave. But it's up to the tenant to decide whether to move out or to stay and let the landlord force you to move out. But the telephone notice is not official and cannot be enforced. I.e., your landlord cannot state in a court argument that he called you by telephone and asked you to leave.

To evict, he needs a reason.
Can a landlord evict someone living on their property when they haven't signed a lease?
I am presuming we have three components here: a landlord, a tenant, and a subtenant. The landlord in this case is presumably renting to a tenant, while the tenant is presumably renting to a subtenant. I presume that tenant has a lease while the subtenant doesn't. The tenant becomes the landlord for the subtenant. Since there is no lease (in most states subletting does not involve a lease) in this case, the tenant who is the subtenant landlord can evict the subtenant. While the main landlord can evict the tenant -which automatically evicts the subtenant -only the tenant can evict the subtenant. But the main landlord can evict all by evicting the tenant.

Generally he can go back as far as you owe the rent. But a landlord can only evict you for not paying the rent, not for money that you owe for back rent. If your landlord accepts your money for the correct amount of rent, he cannot evict you for the back amount, but he can sue you for that.

No. You have the right to ask questions about this matter as every tenant who faces the uncertainty of his landlord being under foreclosure. But remember: as long as the landlord has control of the property he can still collect rent from you and evict you if you don't pay it.
