Can my landlord kick me out at the end of my lease?

Welcome to Hitchcock Wright & Partners
No. You are protected by legislation. Your landlord can renegotiate the terms of the lease if he complies and it is essential that you also respond in the correct way so that you do not loose the protection which you have. You really need an expert at your side to ensure that your interests are protected and that the terms of the new lease and rent go no further than the landlord is entitled. As with the previous question, don't leave it too late to consult. See similar questions...

If I file for bankruptcy, can my landlord still evict me from my apartment?

Frequently Asked Questions - www.bkhelper.org
People who file for bankruptcy are entitled to certain immediate protections from certain legal actions -- part of what is called the "automatic stay" effect of a bankruptcy filing, because many potential legal actions against the filer are stopped (known as "stayed" in legal terms). But as of October 17, 2005, when the new bankruptcy laws took effect, some of these protections have been eliminated. One key change is that filing for bankruptcy no longer delays or stops eviction actions. See similar questions...
