More details to this question:
My landlord has consistently threatened me with his son the Attorney. I been living at this house for 4years, never late on payment or broken anything. The problem came when he told me l had to remove some cars l had on property. I told him I was, but then he ask for 500.00 more for rent and it would be ok to have them there. I refused and was told to leave. Ok I'm packing but I need an extra week. This is it in a nut shell

Using media buzz words like "bullying" simply because you are confronted with someone adversarial to you does NOTHING to make your point, and to the contrary, paints you as being unreasonable or manipulative - as a head up. That stated, absent a written lease, if you are a month to month tenant, the landlord can raise rent or terminate your tenancy with 15 days notice as they choose. If they told you to remove junker cars from the proprerty or pay higher rent, thats a choice, not being bullied, and with your refusal to immediately do either, you risk the filing of an eviction lawsuit if you are not out by the deadline assuming the lawyer provided proper notice. If the landlord won't give you an extra week, same applies, as filing an eviction would not be "bullying" because you woud likely be the wrongdoer if you are a "hold over" tenant after the tenancy is terminated.
