If you are not paying your rent then your landlord can go through the eviction process.
Was there any other agreement in place? Was the deposit made by check?
You can also go a quick google search to find some options.
If it is written into the lease then he must comply.
The fact that he is a drug user has nothing to do with it. He needs to follow the eviction procedures like everyone else.
The court that issued the judgment will likely have some pamphlets for you on how to execute it.
Is the landlord an individual or a management company?
Why do you think he evicted you due to gossip and not because you did not pay rent?
He should apply to have it corrected ASAP.
