30 days notice is the law, correct? it doesn't have to be paid for? The landlord here is screwing me over, as far as I am concerned I see the ball in my court, they have no rental agreement against me, because they lost it..

SO my question is, since they lost my agreement, i get a free 30 days right ? 30 days is mandatory by law, paid for or not, correct? Especially if they've lost the agreement? They can keep the deposit, I only paid off half of it. I may even take them to small claims over it, to even further rip 'em up.

Expert advice needed please, I want to make sure I get them good for this one.

They are also screwing over another room mate, so I wanna make sure I get 'em where it counts!

Also, They've totally disregarded and trashed the place, is it possible through public record to obtain the name / phone number of the owner of the household? I feel angry and may even contact them regarding the way they've treated this house! so 4 question breakdown:

1) 30 days is MANDATORY by law, paid for or not?
2) No agreement means I am not obligated to pay?
3) Civil suit for my deposit back?
4) Public record access to obtain the owner's name/tel #
