Your question is somewhat confusing to me. Are you the tenant asking what the new landlord can do; is he trying to show it to new possible tenants?
If a landlord gives notice within a reasonable period of tlme that he wishes to enter the premises for a legitimate purpose, a tenants refusal would be the basis of an eviction [assuming you are not in a rent control city]. Showing the place to new prospective tenants if he has no right to remove you is not a legitimate basis. Wanting to inspect the inside of what he has purchased, especially if he has not seen the inside for a time, is reasonable. For the sake of better relations with him, see if some mutually satisfactory compromise can be worked out. If you do not have a lease for terms of more than month to month rental, he can eventually force you out with a 30 day notice.
