This depends on how serious or repetitious the violation is. A landlord can give you some time to correct the violation or can ask you to leave. If the landlord chooses the latter, he can choose not to renew the lease, terminate it with some notice, such as 30 days or less, or terminate it immediately by means of an eviction (an eviction is actually a court proceeding, not just a request for you to move. If you move per the request without the matter heading to court you will not have an eviction record, which could jeopardize your housing choice voucher if you have one and your ability to get into another home).

Can a landlord break lease do to short sale?

Landlords give all sorts of crazy reasons for wanting to break leases. This is one of the strangest I have ever heard. A lease is a legal contract. It may contain a clause describing how the landlord can break it. The landlord may have sold the building for a whole lot of money. If he can get you out without having to pay you to break the lease then he gets to keep more money. His short sale does not involve you. He has a different motive. His short sale does not give him the right to break a lease. Your problem is your lease with him.
