This would depend on the language of the lease and whether the term of same is still in effect.

A landlord CAN break a lease, but legally the landlord must have a valid reason under the lease. In order to "make a tenant vacate", the landlord must properly evict the tenant. If the landlord breaches the lease, the tenant may be entitled to damages.

No, not if it violates your lease agreement. If you don't have a lease and pay monthly, then the landlord can terminate the tenancy by giving you 15 days notice. For more information contact an attorney and review the information at: http://www.800helpfla.com/landlord_text.html

It will depend on whether you have a lease or not. If yes you have a lease, then read the language of the lease - probably not without valid reason. If no lease, then yes as Ms. Longa has stated - 15 days notice. Good luck.
