If you're on a "month - to - month" arrangement, and do not have a lease contract, the landlord can simply terminate the arrangement.

You'd do well to come to an understanding with the landlord (or anyone else you do business with) before getting into the deal.

My recommendation is to look in the classifieds for another apartment.

A lease must be in writing, and generally is for a year or more. If you have a written agreement with the landlord, you need to start by reading that. If not, then you need to find out what the procedures are for eviction in your state. While they are usually not very complicated, they have to be followed to the letter. In general, a notice to quit (or whatever it is called where you are) must be given 30 days before the beginning of the next rental period, not any old 30-day period.If you have not vacated the premises by then, you can try to get an extension, on terms that do not start a new tenancy (usually called "use and occupancy"), until you can find another place. The landlord can, if he has followed the requirements strictly, file an eviction or take whatever steps state law allows him to take to remove you.

If you live in a "for cause" state or city, then the landlord needs a reason to evict you and must be able to prove it.

Fighting it in court will buy you some time. Don't lose more $ with time off work, and credit rating by doing that though. Go to www.craigslist.com now to find out about a new rental.

Clean up the place you are living in. Make it spotless. Get the landlord to do a walk through with you, and let him sign off on a paper that everything is fine.

This is mandatory! If you leave without doing that, and you peed him off he will sue, or not give back your deposit. Get it in writing that he will give back the full deposit so you can pay down on a new place.

If you were not willing to sign a new lease you should not do month to month. You have no protection under the original lease agreement. Think about that please.

If you are month to month, then the landlord can ask you to move out, but has to give you 30 days to do so. My opinion.. find somewhere else to live. Who wants to stay somewhere where a landlord is crabby like that. Just remember, you do have the 30 days.

You say you have a month to month lease? then it's not a yearly lease, if its only by the month, then he has to give you one month notice unless you have another agreement. thats why its always better to get a signed lease on a yearly bases, then you can have some security. It should be a written notice, in some cases 3 months is required for a notice.

Look for a new place. If you have a bad relationship with your landlord you don't want to live there anyway. He just needs to give you 30 days notice unless you haven't paid rent, then its 3 days depending on your state laws.

What grow to be your landlord's foundation for terminating your employ early? once you've abided through the words of your employ and the owner in simple terms needs you out for his own own causes, i might want to assert that you've a good looking good status to leave on your own words. once you've violated your employ, then your landlord receives to set the words and it might want to look that he's being overly beneficiant with 2 months observe. Assuming that the first difficulty is the case, i might want to reply that you're going to comply with the early termination (effectual each and each and every time the hot resources will be waiting) upon prompt delicate of all protection deposits and unearned enhance rents already paid as liquidated damages for his violation of the words of the employ. As a life like be counted, you would possibly want to be prepared to kiss off your protection deposit, although. As continually, you should search for functional criminal advice in concerns which include this.

The big question is it rent controlled. In San Francisco, you could not evict without just cause, unless the family of the owner wanted to move in. If it is a single family home the owner can raise the rent without limit, basically forcing you out.

Find out if its rent controlled and if so, what the rules are in your city.

Good Luck!

If your lease is month to month, the landlord can terminate your tenancy on 30 day's notice for any reason -- or no reason. Start looking for a new place; do not, under any circumstances, force him to go to court to force you out. When I was landlording, an eviction on one's record was unconditionally disqualifying.

If you have a month to month contract, then the landlord simply needs to give you 30 days notice to vacate. If you fail to vacate, then he needs to go through the eviction process.
