Can my landlord kick me out?

Posted at: 2015-03-04 
This is NOT an eviction and I wish people would learn the difference. The landlord is terminating your tenancy. Likewise you have, or had the same right to terminate. Don't take it personally. Hopefully landlord has given you proper notice, notice that is consistent with your state's codes.In CA absent a lease [your situation] landlord must give tenant a 30 day notice. Note the notice can be given at any time during the rental month, it need not be on the day rent is due, first of the month etc. However in CA if a mo to mo tenant has resided in a unit 366 days or longer landlord must provide tenant 60 day's notice. If your landlord has not provided proper notice according to your state's laws ask landlord to do so. This is a business transaction and for some reason the landlord decided to exercise his/her prerogative to end your relationship. This is a no fault situation and will not harm your credit or rental history unless you and landlord had other issues not disclosed here.

You and your landlord did not have a lease agreement. Since you did not have a signed lease agreement, most states consider you on a month to month tenancy agreement, giving some type of legal structure to these that fail to sign a lease agreement.

Since you are on a month to month tenancy your landlord is able to give you a 30 day notice to move out of the rental unit.Your landlord is not required to provide you with an explanation as to why you are being asked to move.

You may do the same if you decide to move, provide your landlord a 30 day notice of you wanting to move. You need not provide an reason for your decision to move.

You would need to find yourself a place to move to as your landlord has given you notice that for some reason you are no longer wanted as a tenant.

I am sure you were a good tenant and she was a good landlord.

I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.

"FIGHT ON"

Absent of a written lease, you are a month-to-month tenant. That only guarantees you a roof over your head for the next 30 days.

You, and your landlord both, have the right to get a 30 day notice to move out.

You have the right to receive written 30-day notice of intent to evict you if you're still there 30 days later. After that, the landlord can, in fact, file a legal action to get a court to order you evicted, whether you are a tenant, roommate, non-paying resident, squatter, or whatever.

That's tricky because it's at her house. Really without a lease and not being a rental on top of it being consider her homestead, you are screwed. With that being said you have the right to move out and that's it. Sorry but rules are different when it's your home, you can even discriminate against race, religion, or family status, if it's your home.

1. You aren't getting kicked out. They are ending your tenancy. There is no guarantee that you'll be able to live in a rental forever. This is NOT an eviction, it doesn't negatively affect your rental history, and you do not need to do anything "wrong" for them to end your tenancy. They are simply saying "this is a business agreement, and we no longer wish to do business with you." If you buy milk from a local store for a year, it doesn't mean they must continue to sell you milk forever. Same with a rental.

2. You are entitled to proper notice. Depending on the state, you are entitled to 30-60 days notice to move.

3. If you refuse to move, she will evict you. That will cost you money and give you a negative rental history.

Yes, with proper notice per your state's laws, usually 30 days. You have the right to pack up and leave by the end of the notice period. Yes, you owe rent through the notice period.

You never have the right to force someone to rent to you.

Educated guess here. You are on a month to month rental. She is terminating the agreement. You can play hard ball, and make her go through the courts and spend money to get you out. This will leave you living in a hostile environment. Be smart and find someplace else to live.

You have the right to a 30 day notice. No other rights without a lease.

In most states, you have 30 days to find a new place.

I live in a small house that is in the backyard of my landlords house. We never made a contract but I have been living here for over a year now and paying rent to her monthly. Now she came out of no where and said she wants me to find a new place to live. What right do I have??

You not being evicted as Howard states. You are simply being given a notice to vacate. Without a lease, this is perfectly legal with notice. No reason is needed.

You have 30 days.

make her go thru official eviction process - that will give you a month or two to look for a new place - it's perfectly legal to ask you to leave

She has to give you 30 days notice.

The only right you have is 30 days notice that you're being evicted.

none since you do not have a lease

You have NO "rights" because you have no contract...
