Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I am a tenant of a property going through short sale. There is no written agreement. What are my rights? I have been there since August of 2010 and had expected to stay there until at least July of this year. I saw that there would be 60 days notice if the house had gone through the auction process. is this the same for a short sale?
