    Are there different notice periods for different eviction grounds?

    Yes, the notice periods vary significantly based on the reason for eviction. For a breach of contract or non-payment of rent, a thirty (30) day notice is required. However, for grounds that apply upon the expiry of the lease, such as selling the property, personal use, or urban development, the landlord must provide a twelve (12) month notice. These varying periods balance the urgency of addressing contract violations with the need to protect tenants from sudden displacement during legitimate property transitions.
