What behavior constitutes "good cause" for a client's eviction?

"Good cause" for a client's eviction typically refers to actions or behaviors that fundamentally violate lease agreements or harm the living environment or community. Engaging in behavior that threatens health or safety is a prime example of such a condition. This could include actions like drug activity, severe disturbances, or violence, which can endanger other residents or the property itself.

In many housing regulations, the health and safety of all tenants are prioritized, making it essential to maintain a safe living environment. When a tenant's behavior compromises this environment, it justifies the owner's decision to pursue eviction as a means of protecting other residents.

The other options, while they may be serious concerns in the management of a rental property, do not typically constitute "good cause" in the same urgent, immediate manner as behavior that threatens health or safety. Failure to pay rent may lead to eviction, but it usually requires following specific legal procedures and may not involve immediate health risks. Refusal to follow instructions and being late for appointments may inconvenience the landlord but typically do not reach the level of serious misconduct that would warrant eviction.
