Re: if landlord evicts you how long do you have and do you have to pay that mont

I am unsure of the facts here, namely if you already moved in and when. Bascially a lease is a contract between you and the landlord. If your lease expires in March then you can live there until March. However, if you break the lease, for instance don't pay rent then you can be evicted before hand.

If your landlord unlawfully breaks the lease he can be liabile for damages. You need a copy of the lease.
