What to do if my landlord is trying to evict me on false accusations?

My landlord claimed that a roommate said that my friends were drugdealing to tenants but it is a lie that the roommate used to get me evicted if someone said that, though I have no proof they did. I rarely even have people over and none of my friends drug deal. I get along with all my other roommates very well. The landlord is also saying my dog is a reason for me needing to leave but the dog is an uncertified service animal that retrieves medication in case of anxiety attacks when I cannot move and he was aware of this before I moved in, and I cannot be without her. She has caused no legitimate problems or damage to the house and is a quiet and friendly dog.

The best way to contest the eviction process that your landlord has against you based upon alleged false accusations is for you to appear in court and present your case in defense with appropriate witnesses. I suggest that you may want to get additional legal advice from your local legal aid clinic.
