If you don't have a written lease then he can terminate your tenancy on one full month's notice. Otherwise, you need to read the lease.

If you are on a month to month lease landlord can give you a WRITTEN 60 day notice to leave. Hard to believe landlord would get rid of such a great tenant. Nothing you can do legally. Personally, your husband can eat humble pie and apologize.

Consult with an attorney to review your lease. The answer depends upon the language in your lease.

This response does not establish an attorney-client relationship nor is it an acceptable substitute for seeking legal advice.
