Can a landlord evict someone for no reason in Kentucky?

This question is about Kentucky Eviction Process

No, in Kentucky a landlord generally cannot evict a tenant “for no reason” during the term of a lease agreement; they must have legal cause like nonpayment of rent, a lease violation, illegal activity, or other statutory grounds and follow required notice and court process. Landlords also can’t physically remove you without a court order.

If there’s no written lease or the written lease has expired and isn’t renewed, the landlord doesn’t need a separate reason to end the tenancy, they just need to give the appropriate written notice (e.g., 30 days for a month-to-month) before pursuing eviction if the tenant stays.
