The degree to which we help them in young adulthood will largely depend on their character, work ethic, and money habits.

You can easily include a series of obscure clauses such as "eviction can occur due to...lack of character.....multiple complaints by neighbors....questionable sourcing of income....lying on an application..." list goes on and on.The key point is, put something vague into your leases, and use it.
