    Yes, you should start looking for another place, and yes, they have to give you the appropriate notice before they can sue you for eviction.

    If I were the landlord, I wouldn't care about your receipts, etc. What you paid to him is neither here nor there. The landlord didn't rent to you; they rented to him. If your deal with him was that he would pay them what you paid him, doesn't matter. They were not a part of that deal. So, if they want, they can evict anyone in the premises, including you.

    By the way, the title of this thread mentions "squatters rights". Squatters rights is a common term for what lawyers call "adverse possession". Your situation has absolutely nothing to do with that.
