Just cause eviction rules in Bowling Green, KY — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Kentucky's adopted Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act governs evictions in opt-in jurisdictions and does not require landlords to show just cause for non-renewal.
Kentucky adopted the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act under KRS 383.505 through 383.715, but the statute applies only in cities and counties that affirmatively adopt it, including Lexington-Fayette, Louisville, Covington, and roughly a dozen others. In URLTA jurisdictions, landlords may terminate month-to-month tenancies with 30 days written notice without stating cause. In non-URLTA areas, common law and KRS 383.195 apply, also without a just-cause requirement. Because landlord-tenant relations are governed by state statute, Kentucky cities cannot impose substantive just-cause eviction requirements beyond what state law permits, given Kentucky's Dillon's Rule tradition for non-home-rule matters.
Local just-cause eviction ordinances are preempted by state landlord-tenant law and unenforceable against private residential landlords across Kentucky.
