    If you did not give 30 day notice, yes it is perfectly correct

    Your not working or your having to move has nothing to do with this at all,
    Your agreement with the renter is all

    Did you have a written lease? It would have stated how much notice you were to give. If it didn't say, then whatever CA law says.

    30 days is very standard.
    As Fr_Chuck told you, your employment status, etc, has no bearing on following the lease and laws.
