If they don't pay rent then yes.

First step is the landlord must notify the tenant of his/her intentions to evict the occupant(s) in writing. The Landlord must notify the tenant in writing with ample notice. (Usually 30 days, in accordinance with your lease. However, if you've occupied the residence for more than 30 days and have no lease, you still have rights and the landlord still must go through the eviction process)
If you have children, could be a different story - usually will receive more time to stay to get another residence. If the landlord has violated his obligations i've seen the judge grant the tenant w/children the right to stay in the apt for 3 months rent free until the tenant find a new apt.
If you feel it's unfair, contest the issue in court. Know your rights! Always check your local laws as they differ state to state

Yes, it is legal. They MUST, however, follow very specific procedures. It is usually about a 60-90 day process and you do not have to vacate until the judge orders the decree. So you have a month or two if you haven't yet been served the notice to appear.
Procedures vary from state to state so it might be prudent to seek out a landlord/ tenant dispute agency in your state or county.
Good luck.
Peace.

There is always the street.
Should it be legal to require a landlord to put up with a deadbeat? No!

in australia you cannot legaaly do that... some people just stay on free for couple months then leave, some stay even longer... cant really do anything. court, police? cant really do anything as well.
so basicly here, you just have to make sure the person or the family who is renting must at least look wealthy lol..

It's not your responsibility to find them somewhere to go. As long as proper notice and procedures are followed, you can evict them.

Depends on the state. but it shouldn't matter, cause they have to be responsible for themselves. It's not your fault they have nowhere to go.
