Landlord selling property during COVID — photography, tours, expenses?

[Ohiogal]

Good point, thought about it too. But given a price for it it will be 50/50 chance. Could be both for income or for living and I am sure they are not limiting target buyers by saying it's an "income property" with tenants present.
I also know that if a newer owner will rent it out, they would definitely go for a price increase.

Can you look into purchasing it?

I had a lease agreement for a year and after it passed we agreed to prolong on a month-to-month basis.
All been good but I suddenly receive a 60-day notice from the landlord that says that she has decided to sell the property. I've communicated that I am not willing to be visited by random people but the landlord pointed to the agreement that says she is allowed to enter with a 24-hour notice. She has already sent us a real estate agent who asked me to dedicate 4 days (3 hours a day) to showings. We agreed on 3 days, and tomorrow they are bringing a photographer.

1. I don't like the idea that pictures will be taken with my personal belongings.
2. I don't like the risks of exposure during the COVID (I have kids).
3. I don't like the moving expenses that will occur + it's almost impossible to find a place of same quality for the same money, so it's higher rent for me.

Can I do anything about all of those problems?
Any advice is very appreciated. Thank you.

Izzi, I wouldn't worry about your pictures of belongings being out there. I can understand it makes you a bit uncomfortable but no one will really notice or care. Also I totally understand why you're concerned with kids. I have two grandkids of my own and I don't want them exposed to this novel virus. As far as moving goes, that is just part of being a renter, it is unfortunate they chose now to sell. Hope this helps!

Thinking about it, but this property would only work for a flip... I wouldn't want to stay for years here.
