Legal or not, what's the landlord going to do? They'd lose whatever case they bring to court/whatever board it is that they go to.
It's also illegal to not provide hot water.
If a landlord is trying to sel a house, legally they can only give three months notice to the tenants after the house is sold.
Three months notice alway means three months, plus whatever is left of the current month. The last day of the month the landlord can give notice that starts that month, is the first of the month. So, if the landlord gives you notice on the 5th of February (for example), the first day he can require you to be out is not May 5th, but May 31st.
