Renters ombudsmen

This is the background

My wife and I have renewed our lease in February. It is now April and the landlord wants to sell the apartment therefore is sending bunch of people without appointment to our door.

It starts at 6:30 in the morning to 10:00 pm at night where people just suddenly ring the doorbell and want to see the inside of our apartment.

We had it out with the landlord and we told her we are willing to move but our associated costs must be taken care off. Agent fees, moving costs and associated other costs that come with moving as well as having the rental monies already submitted to be returned.

After totalling the total amount required for us to move, they balked at the amount and said they will hold off on selling the property.

We pay twice a year, next payment date is in July.

The landlord has come back this week and said she wants us out when our rent becomes due for the second half of the contract.

She says since she has given us plenty of notice, she is not obligated to compensate us.

We really want a second opinion or to know what our rights are. Can anybody assist?
