I live on a month-to-month basis. Can the landlord just throw me out?

Is it a rent controlled apartment ?

But basically they can evict you with @ a months notice depending on where you live. If you are not paying rent or in some other violation of rental agreement, they can evict sooner.

He can not legally "throw your stuff out" he can legally file in court to evict you for non payment of rent, if your rent is not paid on time.

They set a court date, and then if you have not paid, all legal fees, court fees and rent by then, the court evicts you.
The court sends someone and then the landlord sets your stuff out.

But legally he will have to do this though court.

** with that said, some landlords don't follow the law, and some have went in and throw everyone a person owns out into the yard. So can he, yes of course, but it would be illegal and you would be able to sue them for it.

As Chuck said, legally he cannot do this. But that may not stop him. So you can inform him that you know the law and if he does throw your things you you will sue him for an illegal eviction.

Make sure you have proof that this is your residence with you at all times.
