Great! I really appreciate the extremely helpful advice. It gives me piece of mind to know I have rights and some say in this matter. Its been impossible to find info on the net regarding a home for sale, with staging, while tenant is out of town. And when I return home on those 5-6 days here and there Ill be moving out and the sale of their home or condition of staging furniture is not my priority or concern.
The home sale bombshell was dropped on me Aug 12 in a text. Later on Aug 21 a retro active 60 day notice to vacate text came in ( Aug 12 was the day I got a text merely stating they have decided to sell the house. Aug 21 is when I received a text saying I am to be given 60 days notice to vacate and my 60 days started with the house sale text back on Aug 12 ) I know NOW thats an entirely illegal 60 day notice to vacate but I told them Ill comply because I was ...dumb/ignorant and in shock. When I received the notice to vacate in the mail ( the one day I was home this month ) it had a print out stapled to it of my text saying "OK Ill be out by Oct 12th".
Argh! Theres the proof they need. So I shall be out.

BTW Ive been a good tenant and in good standing w LL the entire time I've lived there. I took good care of the house, dealt w handymen, gardeners, pest control, etc...We have never had issues. So this situation is out of box!

Thanks again Garry! This has helped me in so many ways.
I really hope others can learn from this thread as well.
