A: Probably until the end of March, but the new owner must give you notice. Assuming notice is furnished according to the statute, the answer is yes - you can be forced out, Covid or no covid. It doesn't matter if you've been there 15 years or 15 days. Selling the house "as is" has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Although for all you know, the new owner may want you to stay. Start looking for a place now so that if you get notice to move quickly, you can do so. OR you can be proactive and give the owner notice, and move on your own.
