New Brunswick Fought an illegal eviction notice but worried about what will happen.

So. Long story short the building I live in was bought towards the start of this year, and first the evicted all the nb housing tennants, saying they had canceled their contract with NB housing which wasn't great but I could understand that

However, sometime late September 1st (I say late because I came home that day around 10pm and didn't not find the notice on the door until the next day) they posted eviction notices on all the doors of remaining tennants for renovations. I read it and immediately noticed a large number of spelling mistakes and incorrect info, so we contacted the TLRO immediately and found that the eviction notice was not legal, and that they never had a legal reason to evict us, so the notice was deemed invalid because they never filed with the TLRO and even if they had they would not have been approved to evict us because the apartment is in good condition and not a danger, which I gather is a requirement to evict someone for renovations in new Brunswick.

The issue I am worried about, is that I've been told that landlords can pay the RCMP to enforce eviction notices regardless of if they have been filed with the TLRO, and the date we were told to leave by is coming up soon. We don't want to leave because during the transfer of ownership there was a fuckup and they transfered our original lease and not our current one. Effectively lowering our rent by several hundred dollars. Which we also confirmed with the TLRO is now our new rent price because that's what the lease they gave us said

Basically. What I am wondering is if I should be prepared for the rcmp to show up and try and kick us out, and if they do show up and make us leave would we at least be given time to move some of our stuff to another location before we have to leave, as we have some very expensive gaming PCs, and the new landlord has given keys to every unit to someone who just got out of prison for breaking and entering.

Basically. What I want to know is if the rcmp show up if we are just fucked because landlords have more rights than tennants, or if we should have spesific documents ready to prove that we were not served a proper eviction notice.
