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!
