Yes, if you are disturbing other tenants and inviting your home to burglary your landlord might (and should) be able to evict you for breaking your contract. If you don't want to be evicted follow your contract, don't leave the gate open and control your children.

Can a landlord verbally evict you on the phone?
Yes they can. But it cannot be enforced in that manner. To evict you, the landlord must follow proper written procedures. Sure, a landlord can call you by telephone and ask you to leave. But it's up to the tenant to decide whether to move out or to stay and let the landlord force you to move out. But the telephone notice is not official and cannot be enforced. I.e., your landlord cannot state in a court argument that he called you by telephone and asked you to leave.

Your landlord wants to evict you because the elevator did not pass inspection What can you do?
If you are on a lease, your landlord must fix the elevator for the remainder of the term of your lease. If he does not, you should contact a tenant's rights group or landlord-tenant law attorney in your area for advice on your particular situation. If you are not on a lease, or your lease has expired, your landlord can ask you to leave for any reason, provided he gives you written notice according to your state's law. If he does not want to fix the elevator, he may decide not to rent your unit, and ask you to leave. If you like the building, you might ask the landlord if you can move into one of the units in the building that does not use the elevator.

Can landlord increase lot rent if family moves in with you?
The lease normally names all the people who will be living there. Then, if anyone else moves in, the landlord has the right to say you are in violation of the lease and he can evict you if those other people don't leave. With that in mind, what your landlord is doing is altering his side of the deal after you altered your side of it. If you don't like the higher rent, move your family out and tell the landlord you are now only going to pay the amount you promised in the lease.
What can you do when landlord house is repossed what can happen to us tenants?
The repossession of a house, called a foreclosure, is a matter between the property owner (the Landlord) and his Mortgage Lender. The tenant is not involved. As long as the Landlord still has control of the property he is still the one to make the rent payments to, and can still evict you if you don't. When the Bank takes over they will give you proper instructions, according to state laws, on whether to and when to leave, or how to pay your rent.
What is the legal remedy to remove some people from your home that refuse to contribute to household expenses and refuse to leave even after you gave them a 3 day notice to pay or vacate?
Failure to contribute to household expenses may or may not be grounds for eviction. This depends on the term of the lease. Not contributing to household expenses is the same as not paying utilities in most household situations. A landlord may not evict a tenant for not paying his utilities, just like the landlord cannot turn off utilities to force the tenant to pay his rent. Therefore, if the tenant has paid his rent on time then the landlord has no grounds for eviction. However, after proper notice, the landlord has the right to evict the tenant. Now, if you are renting a room to the tenant, then you're charging him with room and board, not rent. If that's the case, you have to spell out the terms of that agreement, any violation of which will allow you to evict him. In that case, you still have to undergo the same eviction proceedings any landlord would go through in a regular landlord/tenant relationship.
How does a landlord evict a tenant in California?
In order for a Landlord to begin the eviction process, California law requires all persons residing in the property be served with a notice. If the tenant doesn't voluntarily move out after the landlord has properly given the required notice to the tenant, the landlord can evict the tenant. In order to evict the tenant, the landlord must file an unlawful detainer lawsuit in superior court.Do not every use unlawful methods to vacate the rental premises. If the landlord uses unlawful methods to evict a tenant, the landlord may be subject to liability for the tenant's damages, as well as penalties of up to $100 per day for the time that the landlord used the unlawful methods.If the court decides in favor of the landlord, the court will issue a writ of possession. The writ of possession orders the sheriff to remove the tenant from the rental unit, but gives the tenant five days from the date that the writ is served to leave voluntarily. If the tenant does not leave by the end of the fifth day, the writ of possession authorizes the sheriff to physically remove and lock the tenant out, and seize (take) the tenant's belongings that have been left in the rental unit. The landlord is not entitled to possession of the rental unit until after the sheriff has removed the tenant.
If landlord has not fixed issues with a rental property can she ask tenant to leave the premises if he hasn't paid rent?
Yes, the landlord may evict, even under the circumstances mentioned above. The real question is will they win. In Florida they will win, in South Carolina, they're likely to lose, especially if the tenant mentions this in their answer to the Summons. In Florida, you must give adequate notice that if they don't fix an essential item in the home/on the property, you will have it fixed and offset from the rent. You must do this with a notice of seven days or more BEFORE the next rent is due. Your landlord can still evict but will likely lose. If they do evict you and they lose and knew that they would likely lose, you can file a counterclaim for up to three months of rent abatement. This is also true in South Carolina.

Yes they can evict you from your lot requiring you to move your trailer immediately and you can risk paying a lawyer $25,00 for a defamation of character lawsuit and when you loose, which you will, you will be broke. You have to prove damages to your character that caused loss in income. Actors can do that easily but you won't be able to.
