Under the law you are deemed as tenants since you are paying rent. It does not matter how the landlord words the notice.

As a tenant without a lease, you are entitled to 30 days notice. Courts have interpreted the 30 days notice to mean 1 calendar month. Therefore, if the landlord gives notice today, the earliest you would be out is December 31.

Finally, a landlord may not evict without a judgment of possession and warrant of eviction issued by the court.

Mr. Markowitz is correct. She has not issued proper notice as is required by law and when she does you will still have at least one full month before she can initiate summary proceedings and sue you in Housing Court to have you evicted. You have rights, tenant rights and you cannot be evicted without her going through all the proper channels. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination.
