Read your lease, it may say he must give you only a forty-five day notice.
Also if he is showing the place for sale while you still live there, he has to give you 24-hour notice before bringing people in. Request a set time that he would come, else you may not he able to be home then.

Yes & if you don't move out the people moving get to pay $1000 to have you evicted! Not fun. I'd move. Good luck.

No he can't he has to give you 3 months notice. If you have a rental agreement and its not month by month you can fight it. But either way he has to give you 90 days
