Just cause eviction, also known as good cause eviction and for cause eviction, describes laws that aim to provide tenants protection from unreasonable evictions, rent hikes, and non-renewal of lease agreements. These laws allow tenants to challenge evictions in court that are not for "legitimate" reasons.[1] Generally, landlords oppose just-cause eviction laws due to concerns over profit, housing stock,[2] and court cases.[3]
