In some areas, landlords can evict their tenants without cause. In other areas, the law requires landlords to have a "just cause", which usually includes nonpayment of rent or damaging the property.

The requirement of notice also varies; in some areas, landlords must post an official eviction notice on the property a certain number of days before the tenant can be forced off the property. In some areas the landlord must get the police to post this notice.
