(1) Failure to pay rent when due;

(2) Violation of any provision of a lease, rental agreement, permit, or license;

(3) Violation of any rule of the authority;

(4) Failure to maintain the dwelling unit in a clean, sanitary, and habitable condition;

(5) Upon a third violation of section 356D-6.5; provided that a violation of paragraph (2) or (3), or this paragraph by a person who is not a tenant, a guest who is visiting a tenant, or any member of the tenant's household shall be deemed a violation by the tenant; or

(6) The existence of any other circumstances giving rise to an immediate right to possession by the authority.

(b) When any lease, rental agreement, permit, or license is subject to termination pursuant to subsection (a), the authority, either directly or through its managing agent, shall provide the tenant with a written notice that shall inform the tenant of any violation, failure, or circumstances giving rise to an immediate right to possession by the authority and, if the tenant has been delinquent in payment of rent, the amount of that delinquency.
