Yes you can certainly be evicted. However, the courts are currently closed and set to open June 8th. It is unclear when the courts will hear any landlord/tenant issues. In addition, no evictions can occur by order go the Governor.

The landlord would most likely have to file a wrongful detainer, regain legal possession, file a warrant o restitution, and schedule the eviction with the Sheriff's office. Prior to the pandemic, this process would typically take 6 weeks to 10 weeks depending not he county. With the COVID situation, I would imagine this would be doubled if not tripled due to the back long of cases.

Contact an attorney to negotiate your exit.
