Yes your landlord has a right to give you notice, especially if your lease period has expired, IE a year lease which turns into a month to month.
He can give you notice of a certain period, 30, 60 days, maybe less, depending upon the local laws, usually a city or county law.
You need to read your lease. If you have paid late regardless of reason, you have broken the lease. Thus, the landlord could at his choosing give you notice.
I would advise you get your ducks in a row quickly as if the deadline comes, a marshal or police authority could legally watch the landlord move your stuff onto the front lawn. Don't let that happen, find another place quickly. You don't want to live somewhere where there's tention with the landlord.
Move on and pay your rent on time. In addition, PAY YOUR RENT ON TIME, the landlord makes sure the mortgage is paid on time so you have a roof over your head. Do him a favor, afterall he has invested thousands and provided a roof over your head. As far a importance of paying your bills rent should always be first, then food, then car, then credit cards, then savings, then extras. This should be your scale of priority in paying your bills. Do it, live by it, and have some self dicipline. Sorry for the lecture.

It depends on the terms of your lease. If it is a short term tenancy and that has now expired( a short term tenancy is usually 12 months) then I am afraid there is nothing you can do. If it is a longer lease,say three four five years then if you pay your rent regularly he cannot force you to leave unless there are circumstances which might help hi s case. For example if you are a troublesome tenant causing problems with other tenants or running dubious businesses and there is a record of complaints about you If you do not have a lease then I am afraid you have no rights at all.

Look at the contract/agreement that you've signed.
Was it for a year, 5 years... Has the contract expired?
Do the fine prints say that your landlord has the right to ask you to leave when he wants the apartment back as long as notice of a certain amount of time is given?
Do you have a contract in the first place?

Your rental agreement is probably a short term unsecured tenancy and the landlord has the right to give you notice. You should ask the landlord why he/she wants you to leave.
If there is no way you can stay then withhold the final month's rent. This means you get your deposit back!
Good luck

It depends on the type of contract you have.
Morally though you have agreed to pay your rent in full and on time so you cant blame them for being upset with you.
You do not know their situation financially you just assume that your position is worse than theirs because they own the house you live in but the reality could be your late payment causes their own cheques to bounce and could end their business and make them homeless.
get legal advice from citizens advice on the contract and get some grown up advice on responsibility to pay on time.

It depends on local law, but assuming you don't have rent control and you can't prove discrimination it's likely that he can evict you as long as you are given the proper notice.

not paying on time is only a small annoying matter to a landlord.hygiene loudness and being untidy could disturb a landlord enough to evict a lodger

Take this matter up with your local council. You may have a private landlord but you still have rights.

Check the small print in your lease then go get advice from the Citizens advice Bureau.

Of course he can. It's his house, not yours. And he doesn't have to give a reason.
As long as the notice period given is that stipulated in the tenancy agreement, that's all there is to it.
