If you have a written lease for a definite period of time (such as a one-year lease), you may only be evicted at the end of the lease; for good cause, such as nonpayment of rent; or if the lease itself provides or states that you can be evicted in certain circumstances and the landlord complies with those rules or procedures. A fire in a rental unit's kitchen would typically only provide good cause for eviction if 1) it was caused by your intentional bad act or gross negligence/recklessness (more than usual carelessness), or 2) if it renders the unit uninhabitable. If the landlord is trying to evict you because you caused or contributed to the fire, if you don't believe you were more than ordinarily careless, you should have a good defense if brought to court (evictions must be through the courts).Ordinary carelessness would be something like accidentally dropping a tea towel or paper towels on a burner because they slipped out of your hand, thereby sparking a fire. Recklessness or gross negligence would be using a stove for extra heat in the home; leaving a pot on a lit burner unattended; trying to deep fry without the right (safe) equipment, on a regular residential stove; turning on the over when there are containers or towels stored in it; etc.If you are a month to month tenant, the landlord may give you 30 days notice (not 2 weeks) terminating your tenancy.
