Independence, MO asked in Landlord - Tenant for Oklahoma

Q: I live in Oklahoma and my landlord sold the property that my mobile home is on about 5 mth ago.

now the new landlord is trying to evict me for no reason. The verbal agreement between my old landlord and the new one was that if he sold the land to him that he would allow my family and i live there for as long as we needed until we found a place to buy for our mobile home. And he said he would. This was a verbal agreement between them both. We rent the land on a month to month bases. He served me with a eviction notice 2 days ago. He verbally told me the reason that he wanted us to move was because he just wanted it. Help i don't have the funds to just up and move my mobile home. And he wants it moved by 8/1/2018. Do I have any rights. Oh also he excepts my rent every month and its paid on time.

A: The verbal agreement between the old owner and the new owner of the land your mobile home sits upon is not enforceable by you. You have a tenancy of month to month and all the new owner has to do is give you 30 days notice to move your mobile home even if you are paying the rent.
