Can you evict a tenant for no reason if they aren't on a lease but are up to date on their rent?

He can evict you if you don't pay rent, you have no excuse not to pay it. He can also give you notice to leave and then evict you if you don't.

The fake notice is real, he is required to post notice on the door before filing with the courts.

If the 600 was full rent and he never asked you to leave he has to accept it. If he told you to get out and you did not he has to wait until he evicts you, then you pay him.

Different states have different laws governing landlord/tenant actions, and the laws on the books can be very specific as to when and how notice must be given for eviction. However, you have very few rights if you have no lease. Just as you can decide to leave at any time, so too can the landlord tell you to leave at any time. It works both ways without a lease.

Generally, most states require written notice, either by certified mail or by a process server, or as stated by one of the other answerers a note on the door, at least 30 days before you must leave. You may have additional time granted if you have extenuating circumstances, such as a disability or you are receiving federal or state housing subsidies.

But aside from those details, the bottom line is you must vacate the premises if the landlord tells you to and you have no lease that states otherwise.

OK, so you tell him you are not going to give him rent until he fixes the windows, then you try to give him the rent and he will not take it?

Sounds like another case of onlyhalfthestoryitis. Also sounds like you have been a pain in the *** renter and he finally has had enough of you.

Your additional details really tell the rest of the story, that you are a leech that that wants to take advantage of the system and screw over the property owner for as long as you can. Would live to be there when they come and forcefully evict you.

If you bring the money to court, the courts will likely make him accept it and will refuse to pay it. Can you send him an email or fax (something you can take to court with a date stamp) and tell him that the rent is available as soon as he can give you a receipt for it? You can also send him a registered letter...tomorrow. Do you have your receipts? Have you taken and printed out good pictures of the repairs that need to be made? Are they bad enough to call the building safety division in your county?

Contact your city (or county's) landlord/tenant office and ask to speak to a tenant advocate.

Explain your situation and ask for advice.

The consequence for not paying the rent is bad credit. Which means it may be difficult to find another place to live.
