I'd have to see the specifics, but in this document below, it would
appear tenants might have advantages when compared to the state I live

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA OFFICE OF THE TENANT ADVOCATE

The landlord may evict you only for one of ten specific reasons set

Finally, any eviction must be pursuant to a court order, and must be
scheduled and supervised by the U.S. Marshal Service. (D.C. Official
Code  42-3505.01)
