Take it to a lawyer, a lease is binding by both parties. If you left 6 months early I guarantee they would take you to court and get every penny. They should have to pay any and all expenses associated with your move should you decide to.

Sure, they can ask. However, they cannot TELL you to move. You have a lease contract, and the landlord has to abide by that contract.
Let him know it's sad he lost his job, and you'll be happy to watch him from your leased home as he leaves to head out job hunting each day.
The only way he can make you move is to evict you - and then only if you break any term of the lease. Even then, in most states, IF he had just cause to start eviction proceedings, it would still be several months before you'd have to move.
Stick to your guns. He's just out of luck. If you feel sorry for the guy, tell him to get you set up in a similar place, pay to have you moved, ensure that the lease is solid, and have him pay your damage deposit at the new place.

It all depends on what's in your lease. Read your lease carefully and if you don't understand it, consult an attorney or a paralegal in your area. You should not have to move out because the owner now wants to move in. However, if you choose to move, ask the owner to pay you one, two, or three months rent plus your deposit to help you with moving expenses. Read your lease carefully because it may stipulate that the owner has a right to rescind the lease under hardships such as this. Good luck!

If you have lease and you haven't broke it and it doesn't say that they can do what they are, I don't believe they can make you move. Check it over real close and if you don't find anything, then see a lawyer about it. Not your problem they lost job.

No it is your place to live untill the lease is over, but you could work a deal out with him that he would pay you...I don't know mabey 150% of rent that you are going to pay him in the future. Thats how my Aunt handeled in when her house was wrecked in Hurican Rita.

certain states have a provision of owner occupied, so check your local state laws, but even if you are in one of those states i believe at least 60 day notice is required, but if you are not in one of those states you can stay the rest of the term of your lease,

It depends on the wording of your lease that you signed. Look it over.
