If employed as an on-site property manager, how long must you be given to move out after your services are terminated?

I was employed without a contract or lease. My employer let me go because I go to school 2 days out of the week, a fact of which they were aware when they rehired me. Upon dismissing me she asked that I call her the next day as to what I wanted to do since she was willing to give give me a couple of months free rent. I did call her and said it would be impossible for me to move within 30 days, so could I take stay until the end of the month after next and pay half of the rent for next month and the following month. She said that would be fine, “I’ll set it up”. The new manager confirmed it. However, a week later she called and changed everything. I have to be out end by the end of this month (slightly over 2 weeks). Is this legal?
