If one landlord gives me notice, can I sign a new lease with the other landlord to prevent this?

Landlord 1 (the husband) has harassed us the entire time we have been here. He continuously disrupts our peace by not asking but telling us when he will be coming over. Usually with less than 24 hour notice. And usually on the weekends, sometimes for a full 9-5pm day! He also has refused to vacate the garage, and uses it as his personal storage unit. He hasn't paid the gardener so we haven't had landscaping since last Sept. (it's his obligation in the lease). The husband miss-appropriated funds, and was not paying mortgage on house. We've known we could sue him, but he is a hothead and we love the house in every other way:-( and know he would have simply given us notice. Now he and his wife are divorcing. This was her family home. She has health issues, and this is her only source of income. She wants us to stay and needs money. He was trying to get us to pay him directly (with a 3 day notice no less) and when we said it need to be an amendment to the lease he claims to be evicting us (or giving us notice, not sure yet)
