And he has filled a document to postpone the finalization of the sale with the court till july.please help.

No, he can't legally throw you out or change the locks on such short notice. I gather that you were current with your rent. If not he could start eviction proceedings against you because you were still obligated to pay your rent, despite what he does or does not do with the money.
