Thank you. Whenever one is not current in their payments, the landlord can begin the process to have the tenant kicked out.

So, if you are behind or if you miss a payment, the landlord can immediately start that process.

Does this mean immediate eviction? No, it does not. The process involves the landlord giving you notice, then the landlord has to go to court and file a lawsuit, then there's a hearing with a move-out deadline, then (if you're still there) there is the eviction. As a matter of practicality, that process will take you close to August 31 (when you were planning to move out anyway).

So, can the landlord start the eviction process? Yes. Will the eviction occur before August 31? It will be hard to predict .... very close, though.
