Yup.
"Limiting the scope of permission is critical to making beneficial
use of property. For example, a landowner who could not exclude
others from entering his or her property would not be able to fully
use and enjoy it trespassers could overrun the land."
So in the GNU Republic a lease is not a contract and tenants are
simply shot dead (as trespassers) by landlords on any slightest
breach of rental contract^Wlicense!
