As a landlord, if I gave a notice of eviction to my tenants and it will be viewed in court soon, can I also bring up other matters of brech at tht time?
The notice specified the reason to be for failure of payment and did not give me room to include any other reasons that were stipulated in the landlord/tenant contract. Can those be brought up in court to defend my case? and how?

Under the laws of all states in this country if you mentioned in the notice of eviction one reason for the termination of the lease of your tenants as a landlord but there was not enough space to articulate all of the reasons then you are entitled to raise all issues that you need to at the unlawful detainer action you have coming up as you have written.
