Welcome! My goal is to do my very best to understand your situation and to provide a full and complete answer for you.

Yes, you can get more time because the law works in your favor. Even though there is no lease, you are considered an "at
will" tenant, which is treated legally as a month to month tenant. If you do not leave at the end of the 3 weeks, the law does not allow the landlord to forcibly
evict a tenant without obtaining an eviction order from a court. What that
means is that if termination date comes and the tenant does not move out, the
landlord cannot simply change the locks or throw the tenant's things out.
Rather, what the landlord has to do is to first deliver a 5-Day Notice to
quit...which basically says the tenant has 5 days to leave or face eviction.
But, if the tenant still hasn't left, the landlord must then file an unlawful
detainer petition with the court for an eviction order. Depending upon the
court's docket, it can take anywhere from about 15 days to a couple of months to
get a hearing. Only when a judge has
issued the eviction order can the landlord have the tenant evicted. That will
buy the tenant a good bit of time.
