In an eviction Before proceeding with the eviction, the landlord must explain to the tenant why the lease is canceled. Assuming; If the landlord doesn't like the tenant and wants to break the lease anyway, could the landlord refuse to tell the tenant what needs to be fixed for the lease to continue? This would minimize the chance that the tenant could correct any problems before the eviction proceeding in court and increase the chances of a successful eviction. Wouldn't this be a good strategy for the owner?
