Dallas Landlord wants to break lease for renovations

Hey BP crew. I live in a "up and coming" neighbor hood in Old East Dallas. A year and a half back, I signed a two year lease with the prior own on the triplex I live in. It has since been bought buy a company that has been a nightmare and yesterday I received a letter stating the REQUESTED myself and the other tenants be moved out by July 31st for renovations to be done. I hate the people that manage the house but love the location and price. I believe they can't make me move, I've never been late with rent and have a history of paying several months ahead. Could I simply refuse to allow them to break the lease and tell them they need to wait till January when my lease is up? If I found a place I like before then can I ask they pay me off to move and cover moving expenses?
