1 Your landlord has to prove a legal reason for the eviction and get a court order. 2  Depending on the reasons for the eviction, it may be possible to show the court that it is not reasonable to make an order. 3  This may be the case, even if the landlord can prove the reasons.
If a landlord decides to evict a month-to-month tenant without cause -- perhaps to make renovations -- he or she must give notice, typically 30 days. But some cities with rent control, including San Francisco and New York City, do not allow evictions unless the landlord is able to prove a legitimate reason to do so.f the tenant remains after that period, the landlord has to hire the sheriff or marshal to carry out a forcible eviction. That will take several weeks more. Further delays are possible if the tenant files a motion for more time or objects to the court determination.
