590 N.W.2d 162 (Minn.App. 1999). Cimarron Village receives tax credits under 26 U.S.C. § 42 (2002) (section 42) for providing low-income units. A recipient of section 42 tax credits is prohibited from terminating a tenancy “other than for good cause.” 26 U.S.C. § 42(h)(6)(E)(ii)(I). Here, the district court found that Cimar-ron Village had established good cause for terminating appellants’ tenancy. Appellants argue, however, that because Minnesota courts have not defined the term “good cause,” the term should be interpreted to mean that a landlord must show “material noncompliance” with the lease. While we agree that Minnesota courts have not established a bright-line definition of “good cause,” we decline to equate that concept with “material noncompliance.”
