My landlord is evicting everyone on a 1 week notice, what can I do?

I'm a student renting an accomodation in Coventry. My landlord rents out a whole apartment for students. For some reason unveknownst to everyone, he doesn't want to rent out to the student market anymore, and is forcing everyone to move out in under 1 weeks notice, otherwise they will relocate us to some random property they have lying around under the same rent. The rental agreement states that the landlord cannot evict us without at least a 2 months notice and 6 months after the contract has started (my contract has only been live for 1 month so far). What are my options, and what can I do? Desperate for solutions, obviously.
