If the landlord is trying to evict you because the house needs major repair, he has the right to do so. Like any other reason for eviction, he has to give the proper notice. If the eviction is not for anything of your fault, the landlord must wait until the end of the term of the lease before he can evict you, unless the house repairs are dire, and it is unsafe for you to remain there. In that case he must give you the proper notice according to the emergency of the repair.
