If the condo gets sold you have a new landlord.
Yeah, your lease may give that right. That is why you should feel free to negotiate provisions of any contract, especially if the owner is just like you, an individual, they feel less leverage than the big rental guys.
ya gotta wait for the lease to expire, unless lease has a clause allowing lesser to terminate due to sale (as lintin said). If said clause does not exist, then must wait for lease to expire. Sounds like you're the tenant. If they want you to move prior to expiration, have them buy you out, like pay yr moving expenses & broker's fee.
Usually, the lease overrides but does not preclude the sale - so the condo owner can sell, but the new owner must wait until the tenant's lease expires before moving in.
