If you have no lease, you are considered to be a month-to-month tenant. Accordingly, you must me given a 30 day notice to vacate (60 if you have lived there a year or more). If you remain after the specified date in the notice, then your landlord will have to file for an eviction in court. At that point, once a judge issues a writ of possession to your landlord, if you still haven't moved by then, your landlord can have the sheriff physically remove you if necessary. This all process will take about 4-6 weeks or more, depending on the jurisdiction.
