Because it's not just someone's property, it's also someone's home. The place they live. Society has collectively deemed kicking someone out of their home with no notice to be undesirable, even if they are currently struggling to pay rent.

You have to keep in mind the vast majority of tenancies are in good faith.

True. I was reexamining the way I worded my question and I certainly could have put things better. There is more nuance there than I had given at first thought.

Having grown up in rentals, and having had close family member kicked out of a rental with something like 1 weeks notice, I am very conflicted over the issue. Thank you for not responding in kind to the way my question was worded.
