Re: Eviction Procedings What is the time limit

The time you have depends on the language of the notice. Some notices are 3 day, others for longer periods. Before you can actually be evicted the landlord will have to get a court order, which takes a little time. Note you can be evicted for other reasons other than nonpayment - such as for committing waste on the premises (damage), illegal activities, etc.

Since you have a new place, the easiest thing to do is to talk to the landlord so he/she knows what is going on.
