Can the landlord evict me before the lease expires?

The only way a landlord can evict you before a lease expires is if you have breached your tenancy agreement in some way, shape, or form. For example if in an inspection you were trashing property, causing lots of damage, or if indeed you were not paying your rent the landlord can start legal proceedings against you to have you evicted. However, always remember, no landlord can physically evict you from property. They must go through the court and abide by the agreement laid out in your tenancy.
