Re: Eviction
The landlord cannot evict you without a court order. Try to be quieter and pay your rent on time. Then when you go to court you will have a good case. If you get court papers telling you to go to landlord/tenant court, make sure you show up. You probably should check with a local lawyer to make review your lease.
