You don't post anywhere near enough information to be able to meaningfully advise you. What type of tenancy - month to month or fixed term? How long have you been renting there? Regardless, he can't even start to evict you without serving you with written notice terminating your tenancy.

Is it alright for a landlord to declare to tenants an intent to place their home up for sale at an unknown year in the future, so they will begin moving out as soon as possible?

Of course a landlord may share their anticipated plans with a tenant. It can help everyone plan. The landlord must still issue the correct written notice etc when the time comes.

No worries. Eviction suits can only be filed Mon-Fri. Plus they can't file without first having given you a 10 day (no longer just 72 hr) written notice, containing all the required information and having it lawfully served. Even then, once an eviction suit is filed, your first court... View More

You need to carefully read your lease regarding renewal and termination. Some leases terminate automatically unless the parties have agreed to renew it. Most automatically roll into becoming a month to month if there's no agreed renewal of the fixed term lease. Still others require at least X... View More
