If your landlord wants to terminate your lease for no reasaon and you are not in breach of your lease, then the landlord legally cannot do so unless your lease term has ended or you are on a month-to-month lease.

Ordinarily, a tenant has thirty (30) days required notice to move out of the rental. I suggest that you consult with a landlord tenant attorney about your matter. Possibly the landlord does not have the right to end your lease.
