Im not sure how he sold it but he sold it to the guy next door no banks involved just a verbal or written contract. Like us we had a noterized contract he went and sold it

He can't just "kick you out". If you have a contract, the new owner has to honor it (at least as a lease). Was your contract recorded?

In any event, he cannot make you leave unless he gives you a proper written notice to quit, providing you a certain time in which to leave; depending on where you are 30 days, or some places 15 days.

Don't let him intimidate you. You don't have to move out unless he gets a court order.
