Housing law is different in England and in Scotland. (Wales and Northern Ireland basically follow the English model). Assuming that you're in England though, the simplest answer to your question is "Very few indeed".
Your landlord is free to evict you at any time, without giving any reason at all, simply by giving you two month's notice under 'Section 21':

Your landlord largely has control over the rent you pay too:

The previous government planned to largely abolish 'Section 21' evictions (although there were to be some exceptions, such as when a landlord wanted to sell a property or to move into it) and introduced the Renters (Reform) Bill into Parliament. However that was abandoned when the General Election was announced. Labour have promised to do something similar but there's no new Bill before Parliament yet.
My knowledge of the rules that apply in Wales is very sketchy but this looks as if it might make things clearer for you:

Personally were I to presently be renting out a dwelling I'd be desperately looking to regain it and sell up. The law seems unable to accept who actually owns the place, and who ought not be free to change things as per their whim. And the suggested new so called rights the government are threatening to bring in ensures only large renting companies can put up with the stress. Just not worth it for those with one, maybe two, properties. I foretell a drastic lack of rentable properties in the future, coupled with those without home ownership still finding it difficult to get the deposit together.
"Landlord is selling the house shorthold tenancy
When a landlord sells a house with a shorthold tenancy in place, the tenancy agreement remains valid and continues to bind both the landlord and tenant. Here are key points to consider:
Tenancy Continues: The sale of the property does not automatically terminate the tenancy. The tenant’s rights and obligations under the existing agreement remain unchanged.
New Owner’s Obligations: The new owner of the property (the buyer) becomes the landlord and is responsible for fulfilling their obligations under the tenancy agreement, including maintaining the property and respecting the tenant’s rights.
Notice Period: If the new owner wants to end the tenancy, they must serve the required notice period (usually 2 months) to the tenant, as specified in the tenancy agreement or Section 21 of the Housing Act 1988.
Tenant’s Rights: The tenant retains their rights under the tenancy agreement, including the right to occupy the property until the end of the agreed term or until a valid notice is served by the landlord.
No Immediate Eviction: The new owner cannot evict the tenant by force or without following the correct legal procedures. Any attempts to do so may be considered illegal eviction.
In summary, when a landlord sells a house with a shorthold tenancy, the tenancy agreement remains in effect, and the new owner must respect the tenant’s rights and obligations until the tenancy is lawfully terminated."
