In what case is the owner prohibited from terminating a resident's tenancy?

The correct choice indicates that an owner cannot terminate a resident's tenancy if the lease is not violated. This principle is rooted in the fundamental tenant rights established by lease agreements and law. When residents abide by the terms of their lease, including compliance with rules and payment requirements, landlords typically do not have the legal grounds to terminate the tenancy prematurely. This protection is designed to ensure stability and protect tenants against arbitrary eviction.

While the other choices may reflect considerations that can influence a landlord's decision-making—such as the tenant having special needs, making timely payments, or maintaining a good rental history—these factors do not create an absolute prohibition against termination unless paired specifically with the violation of the lease. A property owner has the right to terminate tenancy under specific circumstances outlined in the lease or applicable laws, but if a lease remains unviolated, the owner cannot legally end the agreement based solely on factors not directly linked to lease compliance.
