I lived in and apartment for one year, now the lanlord notify me that i need to move because he need to vacant the house, he is going to sale the house.

he told me that for the mean time i dont have to pay this month, yesterday they told me I have till the 20 of this month to move.

The question is: since he is the one requesting me to move, am I entitle to my month security?

By the way Im in a month to month renting...

Thanks Victor

I do not know what the law is in NY, but where I live, a person on a month to month agreement must receive a 28 day notice to vacate. I would assume that there is a similar law in place in NY. I would be surprised to hear that a LL can ask a tenent to leave with only a two week notice.

BTW, s/he didn't legally give you enough time. Per NY State landlord/tenant laws, a 30 day minimum notice is required on either party's part for termination of a month-to-month lease. I haven't yet found where sale of the building impacts notice time (i.e. shortens it, which is doubtful). I put in all my leases if the house is sold tenants will be given 30 days notice.

Scour the link below, it's an easy read and it addresses SD, what happens when the building is sold, etc. and gives local phone #'s for Atty General offices should you have further questions.
