If I am paying the rent on time, not creating a nuisance, and keeping to myself, can I be evicted or legally asked to leave. I (and my roommate) have been in a separate apartment in my mother's building. We moved in January 2010 and pay rent on the 1st and was late once (paid by the 5th) never to happen again. We pay cash and the rent is the same that other tenants would pay (so we are not getting any breaks) We pay a monthly storage for one garage space (the previous tenant did not). My roommate and I are making plans to move by December but she has asked that we move by July and that will not work for us. Plus I need to know how to place the rent in escrow because I feel she may try to refuse to accept the rent.

You don't have a lease, right? So that means you are in a month-to-month tenancy. She can ask you to leave; and doesn't need cause.

She can evict you if she gave you the proper notice.
