An eviction can take years. That doesn’t mean that you can just thumb your nose at your landlord and do whatever you want. You have to actually actively look for another apartment or work something out with your landlord if you don’t want to move, some kind of compromise. You don’t just get to ignore him and do whatever you want, that wouldn’t be mentchlich. So if you really do want to move for instance and you want to be mentchlich with your landlord let him know that you are actively seeking an apartment. If you don’t want to be pressured, tell him you will give him something in a raise if he will give you a one year lease and that you will keep looking to move in that time but he will have to let you out of the lease without consequences when you find the apartment. Let him know that you will give him notice as soon as you find the apartment and that you will let him show the apartment as soon as that happens.
