My landlord wanted to evict us even though we have a 5 year contract and we are only 2 years in. Do they have the right?

Contracts are the laws between the parties. When one side fails to live up to their end of the bargain without a legal excuse, you have a breach of contract. Thus, if you have a 5 year contract of lease with your lessor, then they cannot evict you. When a breach occurs, the goal of the legal system isn't usually to punish the \"breaker,\" but to put the \"victim\" back in the position they would have been in if the contract had been followed. We are willing to discuss this further with you.
