Section PRP.05.16 — Grounds For Eviction

After proper notice terminating a tenant's tenancy, as set forth in Section PRP.05.14 of this Ordinance, a tenant may be evicted from any premises, ordered to pay damages and costs, or otherwise be subjected to the order or judgment of the Tribal Court for the breach of any obligation under this Ordinance, any agreement, including an agreement to purchase or rent any dwelling, or for any other obligation provided by law. A tenant may be evicted for:

(a) Nonpayment of rent under an agreement for the lease purchase or occupation of a dwelling when such payments are not made after ten (10) calendar days of the agreement date of payment, or ten calendar days following the first day of the month in a month-to-month tenancy.

(b) Any arrearage in rent, costs, or damages which have been due and owing for thirty (30) calendar days or more. The receipt by a landlord of partial payments under an agreement shall not excuse the payment of any balance due upon demand, unless otherwise agreed to between the parties.

(c) Nuisance, property damage, or destruction, injuries to the property, person, or peace of other tenants, or injuries or damage to common areas and property.

(d) Noncompliance with this Ordinance, building or housing Ordinances.

(e) Occupation of any premises without permission or agreement, following any reasonable demand by a person in authority over the premises to leave.

(f) Failure to comply with any tenant obligation outlined in this Ordinance.

(g) Material breach of the lease or other agreement of the parties, or the reasonable rules and regulations of the landlord.
