If you are a bona fide tenant, the bank cannot evict you unless it has just cause (a good reason).
Some examples of just cause are:
- not paying rent;
- disturbing other residents;
- creating a nuisance;
- not allowing landlord in to make repairs.
The bank cannot evict you just because it wants you to leave. Wanting an empty building is not just cause.
