Kentucky Just-cause eviction

Does a landlord need just cause to evict in Kentucky?

The state landlord-tenant statute (KRS ch. 383 (rental of property; forcible entry and detainer; URLTA), read in full on 2026-10-16) has no provision on a general just-cause (good-cause) requirement for ending a tenancy. Local ordinances or other state or federal laws may still apply.
