Even if a rented property is sold, the right of tenant to continue is not affected, you will become tenatn of new landlord. This is known as “atornment of tenancy.” If you properly make use of tenancy law, you can force the landlord  to sale the property  to you on your terms. It depends on amount of rent you pay, if there is any rental agreement,  in which  State is the property situated and many other things.

Whatever your emotional attachment to the house, you may have to vacate it honourably if the owners wish to sell it and request you to vacate it. You may negotiate with them for selling it to you. But, on that pretext you cannot legally overstay.

You as a tenant can't claim any rights in the property neither the preference to buy the property as a right. 

You can remain in the rented premise till the expiration of the current valid and effective rental agreement. 

If the new landlord doesn't want to extend or renew the current rental agreement you cannot force the landlord about it. 

Law do not have place for sentimental issues. 

Was the house given to you on tenancy basis?

if yes then on change of ownership you need not leave the house

you will simply have a new landlord

your tenancy right remains unaffected 

You cannot be evicted without  following due process of law 

2) landlord has to file suit for eviction against you if you refuse to vacate 

3) it would take over 10 years to be disposed of 

If it's an ownership property you need to vacate it after the notice period. They need to give you a offer at market rate first if you deny they can sell the same

Dear client, 

An exact answer to this question can be given based on the agreement made between you and your landlord and how his kids are in terms of it. 

Thank you

- Since, you are living in the said property , then the landlord cannot sell the property without taking your consent or evicting you legally from the premises. 

- A tenant status will always considered as tenant , and he cannot become the owner of the property even after living into the same longer period. 

1. There might be a provision for notice period for allowing the tenant to vacate the rented premises in the tenancy agreement you had signed with the then owner.

2. If no such period is mentioned or if there was no such agreement signed by you, then you can claim that there was no provision for vacating and you will continue to stay therein unless directed otherwise by the appropriate Court.

1. Tenant becomes legally liable to vacate Tenanted premises "ONLY AFTER" receiving proper Notice from Land Lord. Typically a 30 days Vacate Notice is given. However, this Vacate Notice period, can be mutually decided amongst the Tenant & Landlord.
