A: They have to give you written notice but only 15 days before. So this may be a "courtesy" advanced notice verbally.

A: You are a month-to-month (no lease) tenant, and the premises have been sold by your landlord (who has given you an oral demand that you be out in 30 days?

If this is the case, the owner only has to give you a 15-day notice, but the notice has to be in writing.
