    What is the penalty for using a property in a way that violates zoning?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    If a tenant uses a property in a manner that violates planning, construction, or land use regulations, they face eviction before the lease ends. This ground for eviction ensures that the property remains consistent with its designated purpose, such as "residential only". In addition to losing their tenancy, the tenant might also be responsible for any fines or legal costs incurred by the landlord due to the tenant's unauthorized and illegal use of the premises.
