    Can a landlord tell you to sign an early lease termination or they will evict you?
    I am trying to figure out what to do. I asked her why and she said just because she don't want me here was the reply. Then some strange person knocked on my door asking for someone I don't know and I told this person that I didn't know the person they were looking for and closed my door. The next thing I know she is bangin on my door telling me I got to get out in 30 days because this guy gave her the finger and threatened her. I told her that I didn't know this person but she wouldn't listen because she said that the person said the new people at my apartment number and I honestly don't know this person but she later told me he was a drug dealer. So how can you resolve something when thy won't even listen to you?

    Do you have a written lease, if you have a written lease, it is doubtful that the housing court will allow her to evict you, but it will end up in court if she wants to push it. And I doubt she could evict you, if you gave her the finger ( not that you should)

    So I would merely tell her if you have a lease, no, I am not giving up my lease and fight it in court.

    If you don't have a lease but are on a month to month rental, she can ask you to leave anytime with a 30 day notice
