Is it possible to kick someone out with children with no notice?
My niece and her 2 year old daughter made a verbal agreement to rent a room from a lady; there was no lease. My neice has paid 2 months rent in advance and has only been there for 1 month.

If there is an oral (or verbal) agreement and not a written one, your neice is a month-to-month tenant; she may be evicted on one month's notice by the landlord (just as she could terminate the lease if she chose and move out on one month's notice). The fact that she has a child has no bearing on this issue--the law does not make it any more difficult to evict someone with children than someone without.
