How much notice to move must a tenant be given?
My landlord sent a letter that my lease will be renewed with a $100 increase; I agreed. She now changed her mind wants me out in 30 days but I need 60. Is there anything I can do?

Unless your written lease agreement states you are required to be given 60 days written notice of termination of your lease, your landlord is required under state law to give a written 30 day notice of termination of your lease.
If you need more than 30 days to move out, I suggest that you discuss this need with your landlord and see if you can get a 60 day window to move out in writing instead of the 30 given you.
