I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. The landlord is permitted to sell the house at any time. If you have a lease, the new owner gets the lease assigned to him as the new landlord. If you have a month to month lease, the new owner can get rid of you at the end of the month just like the landlord. If your lease is in writing and is still in affect the landlord cannot evict you unless you breach the lease. i suggest hiring a lawyer to review the lease and discuss your options in more detail.
