I have been unable to pay my rent for the month of June. I received an eviction notice dated June 11th, for me to vacate my home by midnight of June 14th. Does the landlord have the right to do this?

Re: eviction notice

Yes. If you don't move out by the 3-day deadline, LL has the right to file an eviction suit against you. A hearing will be set and if you lose at the hearing, you will be given a time to move out by the judge. If you are not out by then, the LL can apply for a writ with the sheriff or constible who will forceably remove you and your possessions.
