Under the laws of all states in this country, if you as the tenant of a home that is being marketed for sale have a long term lease for it and the home is sold with time remaining on the lease, the new owner takes the unit subject to your lease remaining in effect and running its course.

You are entitled to remain in the unit subject to you not being in breach of your lease.
