A tenant or lessee at will or at sufferance, or for part of a year, or for one or more years, of premises or other lands not constituting a dwelling unit as defined in Section 89-8-7(b), and the assigns, undertenants, or legal representatives of such tenant or lessee, shall be removed from the premises by the justice court judge, county court judge or circuit court judge where the premises, or some part thereof, are situated, in the following cases, to wit:
First. Where such tenant shall hold over and continue in possession of the demised premises, or any part thereof, after the expiration of his possessory term, without the permission of the landlord.
Second. After any default in the payment of the rent pursuant to the agreement under which such premises are held, and three (3) days' notice, in writing, requiring the payment of such rent or the possession of the premises, shall have been served by the person entitled to the rent on the person who owes the rent. Notice of default by email or text message is proper if the tenant has agreed in writing to be notified by that means.
Third. If a written agreement between the landlord and tenant exists, any event calling for eviction in the rental agreement may trigger the eviction process under this section. Notice of default by email or text message is proper if the tenant has agreed in writing to be notified by that means.
