What is the name of your state? MICHIGAN

My Brother has been the caretaker / tenant of farm for over 5 years now. Our Step-father sold it before he passed away and the new owner said he could stay in the house rent free and be the caretaker of the land. Our step father passed away over 5 years ago and at that time, my brother took over being the tenant / caretaker.
The owner has decided to sell and there is a new buyer. The owner's realtor put a "Notice to Terminate Tenancy" in my brother's mailbox on Feb. 27th, but he didn't get it for several days, as he was at my house, which is an hour away. We have not received any other types of notices. Only that one.

The new buyer says he must be moved out by the closing date. We don't know when that will be, but expect it will be this week or next week. The seller's agent said that after closing, the buyer takes possession of everything and my brother must be moved out by then. This is a big house, with items still in it from our Step father and also, a shop full of tools, tractors etc. We are trying so hard to get all done, but it takes time and money. We can't afford to hire a moving company, otherwise we would. My brother is on disability now and has a very limited income.

What happens if we can't get him moved out by the closing?? Can the new buyer come in there and have him removed? Or does the new buyer have to go by the Landlord/tenant laws and procedures? The new buyer is a billionaire and not willing to be flexible. We need to know what the law says about this type of situation.

Since he got the notice, we have been packing and trying to find a place for him to live.
The problem is that he has been taken by ambulance to the hospital 3 times in the past month, because of Congestive heart failure and atrial Fib. He had heart surgery 2 years ago, but still having problems. ( He's my twin brother & we are only 42 years old)
When he's been in the hospital, etc. we haven't been able to continue packing, etc. There are a lot of tools, tractors, etc that became my brothers after our step father died and also a big house to pack. We have been doing all we can and going as fast as we can, but not fast enough for the new buyer.

Please help!
Thank you so much!!

What Will Happen?

Thank you for replying. I really appreciate it.

So what you are saying is the New owner must follow the same landlord / tenant laws and procedures? He can't just come there on the day of closing and kick him out or take possession over my brother's things?

We have been packing and taking items to storage, etc., but with him being sick, limited income and not a lot of people to help, we just need more time. We just need to know what the new owner can and can't do and what rights my brother has.

Thank you again!

**A: read the L/T law. Your brother has rights as a tenant.
