    Yes, a landlord can keep your security deposit against non payment of rent. The eviction notice should be properly signed by you for receiving. You still then have chance to appeal in the court and give your explanation for non-payment. But you must know eviction law of your state to know about your rights.

      Actually as the previous poster stated, yes the landlord can keep it for back rent (it is generally what the security deposit is for), and also all a landlord is required to do it post the eviction notice on the property in plain sight (i.e. The front door). It is not a legal summons to appear, therefore a signature from the tenant is not required.
