He is covering himself legally. Most areas require at least a 30 day notice for eviction. It may be longer if children live in the residence. I would have started looking at the time I got the notice of 3 to 4 months.

In the US of A, this answer will depend on the original agreement made between the tenant & landlord.
Are you occupying the property based on a month-to-month basis?
If, so, the landlord can legally insist that your occupancy ends by the close of the calendar day thirty days from the date of your notification.
However, if you signed a contract with the landlord BEFORE occupancy, you may have additional rights.
Also, if you are handicapped, check into your State's interpretation of special protections sometimes available to disabled persons where no other suitable facilities can be found. This is based on the Americans with Disabilities Act, but I have found its enforcement rather weak in most cases.
Good Luck!

It depends on mutual agreement between the landlord and the tenant.Also, the law of the land takes care of this.If at all you are in a bad situation , why not have the opinion of a lawyer who is well versed with civil suits/laws.

I would assume that you should have started looking for a new place the second he gave you notice.
