I feel my landlord is not giving me enough time to leave. I have a dog, a husband and my mother all in one apartment and to find a place in such short notice is difficult right in the middle of the winter is so hard and right after the holidays I don't know what my rights are.
Generally he only has to give you 30 days notice. Unless you breached the lease by non payment then he only has to give 7 days. Now if you do not vacate in that time he has the right to take you to court to evict you. If you pay rent fully and make a good faith attempt to move you probably have another 30 to 60 days.
Assuming that you are not in the middle of a lease, the landlord can give you a 30 day notice to quit, if you have lived there less than a year, and must otherwise give you a 60 day notice.
Look at your lease. Chances are it says that the landlord can give you 30 days notice. However, if you have not been paying the rent, 3 days notice may be sufficient. Talk with a local attorney about your situation.
