CAN THE LANDLORD BREAK A LEASE TO MOVE INTO THE PROPERTY?

That depends on what the lease document says. There should be specific reasons within the lease that allow for “breaking” or ending the lease by either party. An example of reasons would be: late (or no) payment of rent, failure to maintain/upkeep the property, excessive noise at unreasonable times, or other violations of the lease agreement. If the lease is for a specified period of time that has expired, it probably has a clause that rolls the lease into a “tenant at will” lease. A tenant at will lease may be ended by either party upon some specified notice (usually 30 days). If you are not in violation of any of the terms of the lease, and it hasn’t expired, you may have a decent claim against the landlord in court.
