Your landlord can give you a twenty-four (24) verbal eviction notice to vacate the unit that you are living in but that does not mean that it is a valid notice.
The requirements in most states are a thirty (30) day notice to terminate or a three (3) day notice to a tenant if he or she is in breach of the lease to pay. I would write the landlord that the notice he or she gave you is invalid.
You might consider consulting with a landlord tenant attorney about the situation that you are in. Good luck.
