Your rights are pretty much covered by your lease agreement. Also, your landlord was probably required by state law to give you written notice of your need to vacate the property. Generally speaking, when dealing with real estate, things have to be in writing and signed by the parties in order to be enforced in a court of law. So practically speaking, your verbal agreement with the landlord to stay in the property until the property is sold is not binding. Rather, what controls is your lease agreement.
