Generally, yes. They are the owner of the land.
There is a doctrine called Adverse Possession, recognized by most states and most common law countries. Essentially, it says that if the person on the property has been living there and using it continuously for long enough, they have staked a claim.
The period of time required (and other details) varies by the local laws for the jurisdiction, and Adverse Possession can be asserted either through a lawsuit to Quiet Title, or as a defense to any ejectment action.
If you have specific legal questions about a real situation, you should consult with an attorney licensed in that state.

Absolutely, the owner of a property maintains control. Your lease will indicate what agreement you have with the owner. It is renewable according to the terms of the lease. The owner can claim any number of things, erroneous or not, in order to reclaim the land which is owned by him/her. If it is of great concern to you, contact someone at the nearest legal aid office. You must not indicate in any way that you have funds to pay these people. Thus, you have no job, no income or any assets at this time. Okay. I hope that all turns out well for you. Read Psalm 35 to (Plead My Cause) and do it daily. I know that it is long but it will be of great assistance to you. "The Lord daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation." Selah. - Psalm 68:19. "If God be for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31. Peace and God Bless.

Yes, they can. However, you may have rights that have been violated depending upon the circumstances of the eviction. Find a real estate attorney to learn whether you may have been denied your rights. Also, most realtors are aware of state laws pertaining to specific situations. If you are in doubt, speak with someone who deals with such situations on a regular basis.

That would depend on the lease you have... And why you're being evicted... Under certain circumstances yes the land owner can evict you...

If you don't have a signed lease or contract or have fell in default of one yes. If you moved in under a verbal agreement and have done nothing wrong yes they can. I may not agree with it but thats how it is, I am in MO the laws vary a little state to state.

In England if you occupy land or property quite openly and without acknowledging anyone else's entitlement to the land or property you can claim a possessory title to the land or property and in fact go on to sell it.

Yes they own the land but they have to give you appropriate time to find new accommodations. That Stinks.

He owns it he can do with it what he wants. But I do believe he has to give you a certain amount of days notice. Like 30 days or something♥
