Rent Chair At Hair Salon - Gave 6 Weeks Notice That I Will Be Renting Somewhere Else And Was Told To Be Out By The End Of The Week

Location: Arizona

I rent a chair within a salon, but function as an independent contractor. I pay rent on a weekly basis to the owner of the salon, let's call her Sally, who leases the building. There is no contract/lease between me and Sally.

Due to a variety of reasons, I and a fellow stylist have found a new location to rent at and so a few days ago gave Sally 6 weeks notice that we would be leaving. Sally didn't respond until today, but today she said:

"Congrats, you can both finish out this week since you've already sent rent and leave your keys on my station Sunday evening. This timing is so tone deaf with what I am dealing with in my personal life and with everything I have poured into each of your businesses to help you both succeed. Not to mention receiving this as a text. Best of luck to you both."

(To clarify, she has not "poured into my business". In fact, she constantly steals my product from my station without replacing or paying me for it. And what she is "dealing with" is her dad had a stroke a couple months ago.)

What are my options? Do I have to leave by the end of the week? I have clients scheduled out over the next few weeks, and my new lease at my new salon doesn't start until the end of the 6 weeks.

Update: I just received good news - the owner of the salon suites I am moving to just called and offered me a temporary suite for the remaining 5 weeks ???? Thank you to those that offered helpful advice/gave me the info I asked for, I really appreciate it!
