I know this isn’t right. Can they do that? They raised the rent on me and I have to leave. We agreed on a 30 day notice. They told me I can’t talk to my clients about moving to another salon.

They cannot legally stop you from speaking to your own clients unless you signed some sort of non-complete, non-disclosure, etc. agreement which contractually prevents you from speaking with them. In the absence of such a contract, you are free to speak to your own clients.
