A: If your landlord is breaking your rental agreement and requesting that you move out so that they can move back in, you may want to seek legal advice to better understand your rights as a tenant.

In the meantime, you may want to continue paying rent as usual until you have found a new place to live. It's important to keep records of all communication with your landlord, including any notices or requests that they have made.

If you are unable to find a new place before your lease expires, your landlord may be required to provide you with additional time to vacate the property or may need to compensate you for any damages or expenses you incur as a result of being forced to move out early.

Again, seeking legal advice can be helpful in understanding your specific situation and ensuring that your rights are protected.
