Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I live in a condo area in Baldwin Park, CA. called Marthas's Vineyard. And i am currently renting, and i've been having problems with my landlord trying to come in and out of my condo thinking he is able to. I recently confronted him saying im not going to tolerate his behavior and he cursed at me and said he wanted me out of the condo. Im just unsure how the eviction process works, or if im protected under any laws where i cant be evicted with no cause. What would be the legal way he can evict me, with no cause?

If you have a written lease and have not violated the terms of the lease, the landlord could not legally evict you. That doesn't mean he won't try. If you are month to month, you could be evicted after being provided with the proper amount of notice. That is usually 30 days or 60 days if you have lived there at least one year. A landlord cannot come into your unit without notice, and even then can only do it for limited reasons. If you are under rent control, you will have additional protections. You may want to contact a local landlord-tenant attorney or a tenant's rights organization.
