A: Refer to your lease agreement. Most lease agreements allow the landlord to show the home under certain conditions. The scope and conditions attached to a showing are tied to the lease.

The landlord can legally sell the home with you as tenants and/or terminate the lease agreement (with proper notice) and put the home on the market. You cannot be forced to leave the home before the term listed in the lease expires (unless you both agree to an early termination). This protection applies to the current owner and all subsequent owners (i.e. if the current landlord can find a buyer).

If after reviewing the lease, you feel the landlord is violating your lease, you may want to contact an attorney. Expect to pay for the evaluation.
