The Court noted that the government is not attempting to impose a criminal punishment or regulate the tenants as members of the general populace. "It is instead acting as a landlord of property that it owns, invoking a clause in a lease to which respondents have agreed and which Congress has expressly required." Rucker, 535 U.S. at 135, 122 S.Ct. at 1236. Additionally, the Court emphasized that while proper notice of eviction is required, any factual disputes as to whether the lease was violated is resolved in the eviction action. Id. at 136, 122 S.Ct. 1230.
