Almost none. You are a month to month tenant so all he has to do is give you one month's notice.

jammy23 asks: "Do I have any rights at all? Does he have to give me any notice at all?" This is 'the other side of the coin' and why some people want to buy, rather than rent. You do have rights and they are set forth in the law of the state of your residence, in most instances; what state? If the landlord terminates your tenancy, you are entitled to notice. It is probably 60 days if you are a 'month to month' tenant; your old lease may address this question so take a look at it as well.

Actually, in most states, a month to month tenant is required to get/give notice equal to one rental period.

P.S. I would suggest you take care using the quote feature. I notice you often get the quoted text and your response mixed together which makes it hard to decipher. When you select the Quote option, it places the quoted text within a {quote=username} {/quote} bracket pair. You can edit what's within the pair (as I did here). But your response should be ouside the pair and you shouldn't touch the brackets.

I'm sorry. I'm still mixed up. I wanted to "rate this answer" but when I clicked it, I
Thought I'd have a poor to excellent choice... but I do want to let Scott Gem for all
His responses and attempt to help me and George too. I'll dig out the original lease.
I kind of thought I had no real leverage, and I hope it's 60 days and not 30.
I would have bought if I could have afforded it... but I couldn't. NY is too expensive.
I'll never get this reasonable rent again.

As long as we know our advice helped it doesn't matter whether you do the rate or just add a response. Because of abuse of ratings systems, We decided to restrict our ratings to just indicate whether the advice was accurate or not.

George is correct, all the provisions of your original lease remain in effect except for the rent and expiration dates. So if the lease required a 60 day notice then the landlord has to honor that. If not, its probably one rental period. However, if the reason he wants you out is so his daughter can move in then a lot depends on his daughter's situation. If she doesn't need to move in right away, he may be more flexible in allowing you time to find a new place. So you can tell him, that you understand you have to move out, but you need some more time to find a new place and that you are actively looking.
