of the grounds specified in section
, 2104.2infra, or
unless the landlord has obtained a certificate of eviction as hereinafter
provided.
(b) It shall be unlawful
for any person to remove or attempt to remove any tenant or occupant from any

requirement thereunder.
(c)

shall be removed or evicted unless and until such removal or eviction has been
