    Piggy backed - should be moved. Has nothing to do with original thread.

    Your landlord cannot leave you a note and tell you to get out. You have to be legally evicted according to the laws in your State.

    What State?

    First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone else's. This can lead to confusion. You should start a new thread. So I've moved your question to its own thread.

    The eviction process generally goes like this. First the lanldord gives you a pay or quit notice, which sounds like what he did. The pay or quit strates that you have to bring your rent up to date or vacate. If you don't vacate by the stated period, then the landlord has to file for eviction in your local courts. A hearing will be scheduled, at which time you will be given the opportunity to show cause why you shouldn't be evicted.

    More than likely, the judge will grant the eviction and set a date by which you have to vacate. If you still haven't left by then, the landlord can hire a sheriff to physcially remove you..
