The landlord may absolutely file for eviction if your rent is less than 30 days delinquent: as soon as rent is not paid by the date indicated in the lease (whether or written or an oral/verbal lease), the landlord may seek eviction. The landlord is not obligated to give you a rent-free month before evicting.
