You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

This is subject to negotiation between the parties. If you have a written lease, I am not sure the landlord can force you to vacate the premises prior to the end of the lease. Further, in today's real estate market, it is very possible that it may take your landlord much longer than he thinks to sell the property.
