While your state may have written notice that must be given to have a tenant at sufferance(no written lease) vacate, he may not have to actually receive it. If they can show it was mailed then that notice may suffice. He can check with the JP court if a suit has been filed. Bottom line-unless he has a written lease it is only a matter of time.
Tenant without lease - Posted by Tactikon

Tenant has lived in house that his Aunt owned for 18years.Trust takes over estate and sells property telling tenant closing is in two weeks and he must move . Direct heir to estate has told him he would receive 60 days notice to vacate. He has no lease and nothing in writing . State law requires 30 days notice to vacate. Does this also apply to a tenant without a lease but with almost 20 years of possession?
Anybody help on this one?

Tenant has what is called a month-to-month lease.
He’s received his notice now he can move out or force the Trust to evict him. 20 years living in a place does not provide him with equitable interest. He has no equitable interest in the place thus no legal reason for staying, he should just prepair to move.

I wasn’t clear, he has received no written notice .The state normally requires 30 day written notice for any eviction.It’s understood even by him that he has to go , he’s arguing that he still needs written notice.Are you arguing from the point of view of a landlord or just the objective facts?
