Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
I live in a house where there was never a lease or an agreed upon rent or rental terms AT ALL. I have lived here 5 years and was given a "3 day notice to quit" today. It was printed from a web site of some kind and the person acting on behalf of the legal owner is telling me she's going to remove me and my belongings at the end of those three days, period. What do I do? Please help me

The lack of a written lease or agreed upon rent does not mean that you cannot be evicted.
It is not possible to tell whether the three-day notice is proper without reviewing its contents and the way it was served. You may also have defenses based on your exact relationship with the landlord. You ignore the notice at your peril, however, as the owner of the house may start eviction proceedings.
After the expiration of the proper time, (30 days?) the landlord must file and serve an Unlawful Detainer Lawsuit.
