Thank you for your question.

Because there is no rental agreement, your tenancy is likely month-to-month (assuming you pay rent monthly). In a month-to-month tenancy where the any tenant or resident has lived there for less than one year, the landlord must give 30 days advance written notice that the tenancy will end. (Civil Code Section 1946. Civil Code Section 1946.1(c)). The notice must be served by certified or registered mail, by personal service, or substituted service. A verbal notice is not adequate notice under the law, and neither the old nor new owner would be able to evict you without that proper advance notice.
