Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I am staying with my grandmother who lives in an senior community. She got an eviction notice on the door saying I had to be out in seven days. Is this legal? I thought they have to give you 30.

Senior living communities can exclude new residents who are younger than the age limit for the particular community. The notice is legal especially if you came to the unit as a guest but have stayed longer than the community rules allow for overnight guest visits. You need to consider your grandmother's housing status and leave as quickly as possible so that she will not lose her home. As you are not a tenant, you are not actually entitled to a notice, however your grandmother may be served with a 30-day or (90-day notice if she lives in subsidized housing) terminating her tenancy for a violation of the community rules. The seven-day notice is a version of the 3-day violation of covenants and conditions notice that a landlord or property manager may serve on a tenant who has violated lease terms.
