An owner may terminate tenancy when the tenant commits a serious violation or repeated violations of the terms and conditions of the lease, or for other good cause. 24 C.F.R. § 982.310(a)(1), (3) (2008). “Good cause” is defined as a family history of destruction of property or of living or housekeeping habits resulting in damage to the unit or premises. 24 C.F.R. § 982.310(d)(1)(h) (2008).
