Under the statutes of all states in this country concerning the termination of a lease and the eviction process, the time requirements for a tenant to be given notice to pay or quit or to vacate must comply with statute and be in writing.
In the situation that you are writing about, if your landlord simply wants you to vacate the rental as opposed to giving you a three day notice to pay or quit, the landlord is required to serve you with a thirty day notice of termination of the lease. Statutes are created for a purpose. As such, they must be followed.
