It would be a good idea to give them a written notice as well, that way you can use them for a reference in the future if you need to and they should have it on file and they wont be able to say that you just quit.Have the manager sign it and make a copy for your self for future reference.

As this has been asked in the UK and Ireland section I will assume you are not in the USA. My answer is based on English law. If you are sharing with the landlord in his own home then you are not a tenant but are only a lodger. He can give you notice at any time, provided it is reasonable. Any agreement, written or oral, is not really enforceable - although it might be relevant to what length of time is deemed to be reasonable. In any case, 4 weeks would be reasonable in almost all circumstances so the landlord is almost certainly OK. If you are renting an entire property then you will be a legal tenant, which gives you lots of rights. Unless the tenancy had a fixed term of at least 3 years (which is unusual) there is no requirement for it to be in writing, so an oral agreement is just as valid. Unless you are notified otherwise in writing (which clearly did not happen here) a tenancy is an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST). ASTs contain terms that are fixed by law and cannot be varied. One such term relates to notice. If the landlord wants you to leave he has to give at least 2 months notice in writing (a s21 notice). Even when this has expired you are not forced to leave until the landlord has obtained an eviction order at court and then employed bailiffs to carry this out. So if you are a proper tenant your landlord's actions are not OK by law.

You should always give a written notice. You may need to use this firm as a reference for a future position.

Always give a written notice, so there is no question that you gave proper notice.
You may want to put in your written notice that, as you indicated last Wednesday's (whatever date that was), you will be leaving the office. Put your final date in there too.
The employee handbook - if there is one - should also specify what type of notice they want.

I'd give them written notice also, but it's not a legal requirement.
