No. During the term of a lease, a landlord generally must have a legal reason (“cause”) to start eviction; like nonpayment of rent, breach of lease, illegal activity, or other defined violations — and must follow the required notice and court process.
If the lease has expired and is not renewed, the landlord can choose not to renew without giving a cause. For month-to-month tenancies after a lease ends, the landlord may terminate the tenancy with proper written notice (typically 60 days) and then pursue eviction if the tenant stays.
