Call the "Fair Housing Alliance" in your area. The rule is that they have 72 hours to respond. If they dont within that time, they are in violation.

if you have a lease you will leave when the lease is finished, if you are on a month to month agreement , the landlord must give you a written notice for you to move within 2 months, if the landlord wants you evicted, they can only do that through a court order with a bailiff present, if you have not paid your rent or are in arrears the landlord has every right to remove you from the premises, this being said, they will still need an eviction notice, also your credit will be toast.,

Can a new landlord demand an additional second security deposit of one months rent six months after the original landlord received an initial deposit equivilent to a months rent from a existing tenant?
I think he can since he is new. Did you get back your deposit from the original landlord? I would try to get it or find out where the money went. The money could have been handed over to the new landlord or landlord 1 kept it. You may be able to sue him in small claims court for your deposit.
Can a landlord demand carpets to be cleanded 6 months in to the lease. I pd. a 600 Security deposit and they said would evict if the carpets are not cleaned?
If there is a provision on the lease which requires that your carpet be cleaned six months prior to the expiration of the lease, then the landlord has the right to enforce those provisions. Additionally, if the carpet is damaged or dirty because of obvious abuse by the tenant and not the cause of normal wear and tear on the carpet, the landlord has the right to demand that the carpet be cleaned. However, if the carpet was not brand-new, then whatever dirt or damage occurred to it is measured according to wear and tear by the age of the carpet. Carpeting of five years of age or older is usually deemed to have reached its maximum age, for which the landlord has no claim. Finally, the landlord may not keep your entire security deposit simply because you didn't clean the carpet: he can only deduct the cost of cleaning the carpet from the security deposit. I doubt that your landlord can evict you simply because your carpet is dirty. If you have only been in your apartment for six months and your landlord evicts you because the carpet is dirty, then I would take pictures and present them to court to fight your landlord.

Eviction because tenant filed housing complaint?
A landlord can evict you for ANY reason. But will he win? That's the real question!! Well it works like this: if you file a housing complaint and your landlord evicts you, and you can prove it's because of the complaint, then this is called retaliatory behavior on the part of the landlord, and you can fight the eviction, and most likely win. In many states you can then sue your landlord for damages of up to three months rent abatement, court costs and any attorney fees.
Can a landlord evict the same tenant twice in six months?
The question is unclear. If the tenant was successfully evicted, there would be no second opportunity. Perhaps you mean the landlord started eviction, abandoned it and then started again in six months. That is fine, he can do that. There could be exceptions, of course. Imagine the landlord tried to evict because the person voted for the wrong guy. The court said you can't do that. Then the landlord can't evict for some other made-up reason because the first try didn't work. It must also be remembered that state and local laws may differ. And, different laws apply in other countries.
