RE: landlord terminating lease
Once signed by all parties involved, a lease can only be "terminated" if all parties agree. period. Once signed, a landlord can petition (file) the court should the tenant be in violation of one or more of the terms of the lease and refuse to vacate or correct that violation. But a landlord does not have the right to just wake up one morning and decide to kick someone out "just because".
