Is there any way we can stay past the expiration of the lease?
Not without serious financial consequences and an eviction on your record.

Your landlord's "agreement" to sell it to you is worthless as agreements for the sale of real estate have to be in writing to be enforceable.

What you should have done when he made that agreement was to put a contract and a check in front of him to seal the deal. You didn't do that so you are out of luck.

If there is some question as to whether he properly notified you of non-renewal of the lease you are free to push that issue past the expiration date but I can guarantee you that you'll end up in court over it.

You have until the expiration of the lease to find another place to live. Use the time wisely.
