First off, deep breath. This is an awesome time for you. You are going to have another baby!!! Congrats!!!
So, when the place is sold the new buyer not only buys the property, they buy the lease. They have to follow it. So don't worry, you are not being kicked out.
When your lease is up the new owner can then say you have to leave or they may want you to stay. That is up to them and you. Who knows what will happen in a year.
They could also offer you money to let THEM out of your lease. I have seen this more often. The seller offers x amount and you give them permission to get rid of the lease. You won't make a ton of cash, but it will be enough to move to another place including deposits, moving company, lost wages because your husband has to take off work to move, etc...
The most important thing to do is keep you and that baby healthy. The law is on your side.
Can my landlord sell the property if I don't have a lease agreement. Also, what are my obligations in terms to cooperate with the showings of the apartment.
I have been a tandant for the last four years and always paid my rent on time.
What are the laws for chicago.

Your landlord can sell the property whether you have a lease or not. I don't believe that Chicago/IL has a set statute addressing the question of notice (common in many states and usually 24 hours) but have you spoken to your landlord about this and asked to be given advance notice of showings? This is certainly not an unreasonable request and it would be legally upheld in any court, specific statute or not. In my opinion you can certainly deny entry within reason if, for instance, someone comes knocking on the door wanting to show the unit when you're in the middle of doing something. If any agents (or your LL) are using a key to enter when you're home you could install a simple chain guard on the door. Talk to your landlord.
If the property is sold, your rental agreement has to be honored by the new owner so, on a month to month without a lease, you can (if the new owner decides not to keep you as a tenant) be given notice in accordance with state law.
I am in a rental and we just moved in in November. Landlord just tells me this month she needs to sale. Well our deal was we would stay a year and a half and buy it. We do have an agreement but through text messages. I know that should have been my first big no. She is buying through the usda and found out she is really far behind. But in order for her to get her section 8 in another city she has to sale now. I went to usda to see if we could take over had papers filled out and told them I already live there I am renting. Witch is very illegal on her part. They gave me a number to call about this so I did so. Talked to someone gave them my number. Don't know what's gonna happen there. But she said her sister is gonna show the house to people. So my question is how long of a notice do I need by them to let them show the house. She thinks she can just do it at any time. What are my rights. I know I am pretty much screwed but do I have any rights?

Generally, 12-24 hour notice is all they are required to give you to enter your unit.
1. It's sell the house, hold a sale. SELL is the verb, an action; sale is a thing/noun;
2. Without info on your state, and city in some cases, no one can tell you exactly what the law is regarding notice; and
3. Some states (another reason for supplying that info) allow text messages as "writing" - proof of intent, even a contract. So your option to buy may, in fact, be binding. You need to contact a lawyer, whether through legal aid or a low-cost initial consultation through your local bar association Lawyer Referral Service or even a 3rd year law student through a local law school (university). Again, without your location, I cannot give you more information.
