No, only a judge can evict you. However, a landlord can ask you to leave at the end of your lease term. Or with 30 days' notice in a month-to-month scenario. If you still don't vacate, you will certainly find yourself in court.

In NY, a LL is never allowed to harass or threaten you for any reason.

More specifically, in NY if a LL"harasses or threatens you for the purpose of trying to make you vacate the apartment" the LL can face a fine of up to $5000.00.

Approximately one third of such harassment cases have resulted in such fines. The other two thirds result in no fine for the LL probably because, the tenant did a poor job in proving to the judge that the harassment occured "for the purpose of making the tenant vacate the apartment".

In NY, the Division of Housing can explain in more detail.

In most states, the landlord can't change any locks until the court give them permission. But, check the laws of your state.

Who invented nunchucks?

The nunchuck's inventor is unknown. However, nunchucks were used during the Samurai Age in Japan and other parts of Asia. In rice farms, they were swung in circles to hit rice plants to drop the plant's rice into a basket. Sometimes, a samurai would harass and steal from local farmers. In return, the farmers figured out how to use their tools, such as the nunchuck, psi (a three-pronged mini-sword), and staff, for protection.
