What are your rights as a property owner?

What are your rights as a property owner?

There are many rights that bout the tenant and the landlord have. In the movie it felt as if the two landlords had no rights when it came to their troublesome tenant. In the movie the rights of the tenant were that they had the right to rent out the room to the tenant. When the tenant moved in he hadn’t paid the rent in the movie the main guy handled this wrong he should have instead looked at the lease that the tenant signed and checked if he had broken the lease in any way. From what I gathered the Landlord had the right to take back the property if the rent hasn’t been paid the landlord could have also seek possession of the property if the tenant has damaged it in any way. According to Global Property Guide.com there are three ways that the landlord can evict Pay rent or Quit, Cure or Quit, or an Unconditional Quit. Given these three choices I think that the landlord in the movie should have used the unconditional quit to evict the tenant. The tenant was doing construction in the house and if it was done to destroy the property or even looked like it was destroying the property he has ground to sue and get him out. But that might not be so cut and dry considering that the tenant has rights that were violated by the landlord in the movie.
