The terms of the rental agreement after the sale of he home had been extremely modified from the original terms but the Buyer reassured us that he would once again 'Take care of us".
Was that the exact and only language used?
Quote Quoting citylimits
The original rental agreement stated that we would have 60 days after the sale of property and that the money would be relinquished to us at that time. The Buyer came back with a 29 day rental agreement that he said was capable of extension if we needed more time which we currently do.
If you did not enter the "original" agreement, and you do not want to enter into the new agreement, then you will continue to negotiate the terms of your rental.

So upon the 29th day of the rental agreement....
This would be a new agreement that you signed, to stay for only 29 days with the possibility of extension, and for which you did not complete negotiations for an extension?
Quote Quoting citylimits
the Buyer of the home asked why we were not moving even though he was aware of that I spoke to him at length 5 days prior that we may need a couple more days in the home due to medical issues.
Stating that you "may need a couple more days" is not actually a request for an extension -- it is instead notice to the landlord that you may be requesting an extension. But assuming that the landlord was receptive to your need, and agreed that your move-out could be delayed for a couple of days based upon medical need, what did the landlord say when you reminded him of the discussion and asked if you could be out on day 31 or 32?

This is not to mention the constant texts and calls to me asking when I am moving out (at least 3-5 per week for the past month).
The easy way to stop those inquiries is to give a firm move-out date.

Now, it appears that the compensation that he promised was all lies. I am pretty sure it is going to come down to the eviction process this week.
If there was some sort of oral "cash for keys" agreement that was never made part of a written contract, you have a problem. But that aside, if you failed to move out at the end of your contractual lease term and continue to refuse to give a move-out date, even in a "cash for keys" scenario you would have trouble convincing the landlord that you were entitled to anything. "Cash for keys" agreements involve the occupant's moving out on the agreed date and leaving the premises in an agreed condition (e.g., "broom clean").

Shouldn't my tenancy have been disclosed to the lender despite his promises? Is that illegal? 2.
The buyer should have informed his lender that the initial occupation would be by you, as a tenant, pending an agreed move-out date; but that doesn't affect your rights. That's between the buyer and the lender.

What is my recourse here? I have plenty of documentation and witnesses to his actions and promises.
He apparently promised to "take care of you" if you moved out by an agreed date? But you haven't moved. So what promise is he actually breaking?
