When is an occupant entitled to a 30 day notice?
About 3 months ago, I relocated here to run a safehouse for our organization’s members. In exchange for administering the house, I was given free rent. About a week ago, the owner stated I was fired from this position. Then a day or so late, I received a voicemail from the homeowner ordering me and the other tenants to vacate the premises immediately. This is because we all had to sign an agreement stating that since we are guests the landlord has the right to ask us to vacate whenever she wants to. According to state law, aren’t we considered tenants rather than guests after 30 days, and therefore would she have to go through the normal eviction process with me also?

Under the laws of all states in this country whenever a landlord believes that a tenant has breached the terms of a lease or the lease is over, a written thirty (30) day notice of termination of the lease in required to be served upon the tenant. In your situation you need to be served with a written thirty (30) day notice of termination of the lease.
