In most jurisdictions, residential tenancies are governed similarly. If an eviction is to take place, the landlord can serve you with papers stating they will be making an application to a particular court and the hearing will take place on a certain date. You have a right to file papers in response and to attend that hearing to defend yourself. If the court still says you are evicted, the landlord must usually hand over the eviction order to a bailiff or a sheriff in order to enforce it. This prevents illegal evictions or violence being commited in the name of an eviction.

I think the laws vary from state to state, and I am not real sure about my next statement either, but I think it's usually 30 days for being a lousy tenant, and 10 or so days for nonpay.
Find out what the statute is for your state, but if you didn't pay them, they don't have to let you hang around for very long.

as an apartment manager here in MN---you darn right that they can! Every state is different though! Go talk to the manager--we don't enjoy throwing people unto the streets--but the owners of properties have no compassion at all!

In most states, the answer would be no. However, landlord/tenant will vary be state and you need to consult a local attorney for accurate advice.

first you get a 3 day pay or quit, which means either pay what you owe or they will give you eviction papers. then you have 30 days to move or you can go to court and fight it.

As others have said, it depends on state law.
