If you simply agreed to leave, then that may be it. If he evicted you for cause, you might owe him for those months. If he violated your quiet enjoyment in the way he asked you to leave, then you might be able to sue for up to three months.

Can landlord sell house that is being rented?
No. A lease is a legally binding contract that runs with a property, regardless of who owns the property. Unless there was a provision in the lease that specifically gave the landlord the right to break the lease upon sale of the property, you can compel the landlord and the new owner of the property to honor your lease. If you find that either the previous or new owner of the property is refusing to honor your lease, contact a landlord-tenant law attorney. A listing is available in your local phone book.
