A: It makes no difference if landlord is an LLC. If you do not have a written lease for a specified lease term, then landlord can terminate your tenancy by giving 30 days written notice. Landlord is giving you 2 months. If you don't leave, then landlord can file an eviction, which is a permanent court record that can make it difficult for you to rent from a landlord who checks the records, and most do. So work it out with landlord as best you can to avoid an eviction being filed, and use the 2 months' notice to find a new place.
