What is a valid reason for evicting a tenant?

Occasional noise complaints
Non-payment of rent
Refusing to participate in community events
Preference for renting to friends

The correct answer is: Non-payment of rent

Non-payment of rent is a valid reason for evicting a tenant because it constitutes a breach of the lease agreement. When a tenant signs a lease, they commit to paying rent on a specified schedule, and failing to do so directly impacts the landlord's income and ability to maintain the property. Eviction due to non-payment typically requires the landlord to follow specific legal procedures, including providing notice to the tenant and allowing a designated timeframe for them to remedy the situation before further action is taken. The other options do not meet the legal standards typically required for eviction. Occasional noise complaints may warrant warnings or mediation but usually do not justify eviction unless they violate specific noise ordinances or terms in the lease. Refusing to participate in community events does not pose a legal basis for eviction since participation is generally voluntary. Additionally, preferring to rent to friends does not constitute a justifiable reason for eviction, as it reflects a personal bias rather than a breach of the lease terms.
