This is a very novel and unique idea to create a separation/divorce.  Unfortunately,  due to COVID protocol, I believe there is a moratorium on evictions until early next year.  Consider marriage counseling. Good luck.

could my landlord evict me

You might be able to take a loan out against the proceeds of your personal injury case.  However, I do not reccomend that avenue, as the interest rates are usually insane on those types of loans.  You might ask family to help you.  You might wish to contact a landlord/tenant attorney to further explore your options.  Attorney Christopher Hite in my firm Rosember Whewell and Hite might be a good person to speak with.  He frequently litigates housing matters.  You can reach him at 203.870.6700. Good luck. ... Read Answer
