More details to this question:
I rented an apartment from a customer of where I work. There was never a lease agreement now I'm ready to move out. Landlord said that I wouldn't get the $500.00 deposit back because I didn't give a 30 notice. I was unaware that I had to because of no lease agreement. Is this lawful? The apt is very clean. If I don't get the money back can I do $500.00 worth of damage?

You can sue him. Next time confer with an attorney before you enter into a lease agreement to avoid these types of problems in the future.

If you are a month to month tenancy then you must give 1 month's notice to vacate.
