Answer:
When you sign a lease, its terms dictate early termination. If your lease lacks an early termination clause, your landlord may be liable for the remaining lease term unless they can prove you breached the lease. The landlord must provide you with access to the property for the lease duration.
If the lease does not allow for termination due to the sale of the property, the landlord is likely breaching the lease by asking you to leave. Compensation for this situation typically involves negotiation. Consider factors like increased rent and moving expenses you may incur. Courts may award reasonable moving expenses and additional costs if a landlord unlawfully denies access.
