Isn't the landlord required by law to provide you with a different place to stay if he needs your house that badly? Because to me it sounds like he doesn't care if you'll pay, he just wants an excuse to get rid of you both. I'd try asking him to provide another place instead of asking for more time.
In any case, good luck.

My first thought is that can't possibly be legal, or even if it is, renters' rights should still apply in some form or the other. Is there any legal action that can be taken? Or even a consult?

Unfortunately there isn't much we can do. My roommate asked for the extension but they told us they wouldn't give us one because they want to start fixing the house on the 1st. He's been doing his research to figure out how to swing this, but as of right now I'm more or less just preparing for the worst. As I'm not on the lease, there's nothing I can do to begin with. If I can't get the funds to be able to afford to get my own place, my only other option is to go back to my toxic ass family and save the money everyone donates to put toward a new home for myself.
