Can landlords do periodic background checks on long term tenants?

This question is solely out of curiosity. Let's say I have a tenant for many years who is suddenly being inconsistent with rent payments, or an adult member of the household becomes suspicious, e.g., complaints are received about an adult child's criminal behavior. Would it be legal to require periodic background checks, if needed to check on suspicious behavior, and if so, can you evict someone because their background check no longer meets your requirements?
