Landlord asking me to move out - is this an eviction? Will this hurt my chances for renting in the future? Any advice?

I am renting the top floor of a townhome in NYC directly from an elderly lady. My lease is month to month, with giving notice at the first of the month prior to terminating the contract.

She has just given me notice that I will need to move out due to the following grievances: - having overnight guests (my parents 2x, cousin 1x, long distance girlfriend 2x and one friend 2x) throughout an 8 month time span. Stays have been from 1-2 nights (friend) to 7 days (girlfriend), and have been approved via text or verbally by the landlord. Guests have always been respectful with no partying, ever. - Opening my bathroom and my bedroom window when it gets hot, as heat does not turn off for upstairs - loud walking and loud conversations

I did not even know the guests were a problem until she blew up on me on a phone call last week. I’ve always given notice and she has always said it is no problem, verbally and via text.

I’ve always tried to be mindful, especially when walking and talking on the phone, and only listen to music and watch tv with AirPods/Xbox headset, which gets super exhausting. When I was told I have to move out, I was a bit shocked and very apologetic, and assured her that I want no problems whatsoever.

I have previously rented for a year in Manhattan with no issues, and for 4 years in undergrad with a roommate - no issues again.

My rental profile is: - Mid 20s male - White collar professional making $2xx,xxx income (apartment budgets not over $2,500 at the high end) - 6 figures in liquid assets - 795 credit score

I apologize if this is an overreaction, but I am having a lot of anxiety surrounding the situation. Will this bad experience be seen in a negative light from future landlords and hinder me in finding a new apartment, or would a good financial profile make up for it? Is this considered an eviction?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
