It does matter if one has guns (or SWAT teams) and the other relies on non-violent persuasion.
::does some Googling::
If a landlord tries to have you evicted, and you refuse to leave when a court rules that you must do so, local law enforcement is allowed to physically remove you from the property. That doesn't sound non-violent to me.
This is a fair point. I would note, however, that eviction typically requires repeated notification, and opportunities for you modify your behavior before encountering violence.
Contrast with how your local sheriff can bust down your door in the middle of the night, shoot your dogs, destroy your property, and arrest you merely for suspecting you of possessing marijuana. And then be praised for it even if you are innocent.
