Valid and Legal Reasons to Evict a Tenant

I hear all the time about evicting tenants for non-payment of rent.  I even (unfortunately) had to do it myself once.  But has anyone reading this ever successfully evicted a tenant for a reason other than non-payment?

I got to thinking about this because I looked at a multifamily property today.  On one side of it, the guy had basically filled up his yard with various junk.  It looked like a junk yard.  He had two satellite dishes attached to his side of the house, both with wires hanging from them, attached to nothing.  Lastly, he had what looked like a 15 meter mast on the roof, complete with guy wires that were secured to the roof somehow. 

I don't think I'm going to buy this particular property, but hypothetically could I tell the guy to clean it all up and then evict him if he didn't?
