Eviction in Sober Living Facility?

Question by Sandra D: Eviction in Sober living Facility?
I asked this before, but no one answered with any detail, and to be frank, I think some were guesses. I would like a legal explanation from someone as to why this is allowed or not allowed.

Basically, I work with someone who lives at a “sober-living facility.” It is very informal, and is sponsored or organized by some local organization, but it’s not like a halfway or rehab facility. This is a place for women to live and support each other, and encourage each other.
Halfway houses are different LEGALLY. I have found nothing to indicate sober living houses are (from a regular informal renting. I do know the woman signed a contract saying she would not use drugs or alcohol. She has not, and has not broken any rules. She is still trying to do everything right, but people are nitpicking her and only her for weird weird stuff.

Can they legally toss her out the moment they decide too? I know it is illegal for anyone but a special eviction person to throw someone out, but usually you have to go through a court process for that. How long will she have to find a new place, if any time? She is legally a tenant because she pays a monthly fee in exchange for possession/usage of a real property, right? Because explain LEGALITY, and why this would differ from any other tenant situation if it does.

There are no universal laws on any subject. In my state, the evictions rules would by the rules for rooming houses and hotels, not the rules for apartments. The eviction process is very simplified in rooming houses.
