How much of a notice is legal when trying to remove a person from a home without a lease?

I have been residing with my mother in-law and she has asked for me and my children to move without any notice. Can she legally have us removed from the property immediately? We have established legal residence for over a year at this address.

Under the laws of all states in this country the typical minimum time period for a landlord to have a tenant vacate a rental is by way of a thirty (30) day written notice where the time to vacate begins running from date of service of it. Since you do not have a written lease for the unit you are staying at, the law presumes that you are on a month-to-month lease.
