Under what circumstances can tenancy termination occur?

Tenancy termination can occur when the tenant has violated laws or lease agreements because such violations often provide a legal basis for landlords to terminate the lease. This includes serious infractions like illegal activity on the premises, failure to adhere to the terms of the lease, or disruptive behavior that affects other tenants. Landlords are generally required to provide notice of the violation and a chance for the tenant to remedy the situation, depending on local laws, before proceeding with termination.

In contrast, a tenant requesting a transfer does not typically constitute grounds for termination; rather, it may lead to a relocation within the same property. Being late on one rent payment may be a breach of the lease but might not be severe enough for immediate termination, especially if the tenant is otherwise compliant; often, landlords provide grace periods or payment arrangements. Lastly, a landlord's decision to change property management does not inherently affect a tenant's lease and does not provide grounds for termination unless the new management enforces changes that breach existing agreements with tenants.
