unfortunately you probably will. i was in the same situation we were told he wanted to sell up and did not renew our contract. i was very peed off as we have an 8 month old son and nowhere else to go. he gave us 7 weeks to move out.
only good thing is we just completed on buying a house and he still hasn't sold his ha!!

Sitting tenants mean lower house prices. It depend why your landlord wants to sell. Why don't you ask him?
Whether you mean CAN he evict you, then if you have an assured shorthold tenancy then with the appropriate notice it is quite easy to evict you. I'm not sure what you mean by a rolling contract but that might make a difference to the amount of notice you should be given. If you can give a bit more information, I might be able to clarify a bit more.
(PS I'm talking about the law in England and Wales here)

He must give you appropriate Notice (usually defined in the Contract, typically 2 months but could be for the rest of the contract eg 6 months)
Property with a 'sitting tenant' is harder to sell and attracts lower prices .. so I suggest you start looking for another place now and then offer to move out early for a few thousand ££££'s .. (chances are the Landlord is paying at least £1,500 a month in Mortgage repayments .. if you can leave 2 months early, I suggest you ask for £5,000 and settle for £2,000)

If your contract states a set amount of time i:e. 6 months then the new owner must honour that agreement. Then you will have to negotate a new agreement with the new owner.Good Luck.

You have got to go, but he must give you a reasonable time limit. Ask if the new buyers would be prepared to let you live on as their tenant.
