More details to this question:
2 weeks ago our landlord from Massachusetts told us that we have to move out by December 1st so he can remodel the home to put it on the market for sale. Mind you, we have 3 years left on the lease and not to mention for the past 6 years we've had MULTIPLE leaks in the roof (we have trash cans collecting the rain). He had some people a few years ago come to repair the roof but all the did was half a** work and destroyed our furniture, oh, and the roof was never really fixed. He has not fixed it AT ALL since then and there has been mold growing for quite some time. My mom has stage 4 cancer coming up on 5 years and I know this is not a healthy place to be. Now with COVID and the holidays coming up he wants to do all this. Please tell me we have some legal ground for this.

Legal grounds for what? You already claim the property is not healthy to live in - yet you seem to be fighting to stay there. Your post makes no sense, as does the notion that you have 3 years left on a lease. This sounds a lot more like a rent to own situation.
